A Guide to the Materials used in Fiber Optic Cable Manufacturing
This guide will discuss the different types of fiber materials used to make optic cables as part of the manufacturing
The core of a conventional optical fiber is the part of the fiber that guides the light. It is a cylinder of glass or plastic that runs along the fiber's length. The core is surrounded by a medium with a lower index of refraction, typically a cladding of a different glass, or plastic. This property is useful in myriad technical applications, such as for data transmission in telecommunications, in medical applications, and in lamps and other lighting systems.
