What is Fiber Optic Cable? Fiber optic cable is a cable commonly used in the world of computer networks, which has the benefit of connecting computer system components to the network. Currently, fiber cable is very useful, especially for network businesses. Especially on the Indihome network, Biznet, and other network companies. Because if there is no fiber type cable, the network may be difficult to obtain, because this type of cable is able to deliver network data quickly from the internet network to a computer.

Understanding Fiber Optic Fiber Optic is a type of cable made of glass or plastic that is very smooth, and is used as a transmission medium because it can transmit light signals from one location to another at high speed. The size of this optical fiber is very small and fine (only 120 micrometers in diameter), even smaller than a strand of human hair. These network components have very high transmission speeds by using light refraction. The light source used in the transmission process is called a laser (LED). Optical fiber is one of the most popular components in the telecommunications world. The reason is, the network cable has a very high access transmission speed. So that many people use it as the main cable of the communication channel.

Types of Fiber Optic Cable

The following are the types of fiber optic cables which are divided into two types based on the transmission mode. The types of optical fiber include:

1. Single Mode Optical Fiber Single mode fiber optic cable is a network cable that has a single transmission, so it can only spread light through only one core at a time. This type of optical fiber has a small core with a diameter of about 9 micrometers which is used to transmit light waves from infrared rays with a wavelength of 1300-1550 nanometers.

2. Multimode Optical Fiber Multimode fiber optic cable is a cable that can transmit a lot of light at the same time because it has a large core size which has a diameter of about 625 micrometers. Multimode optical cable is usually used for commercial purposes. Which is basically widely accessed by the public. Because the fiber optic cable is able to transmit infrared rays that have a length of 850-1300 nanometers.

Fiber Optic Cable

Type Here are some types of fiber optic cables that are commonly used, including:

1. Tight Buffer (Indoor/Outdoor)
2. Breakout Cable (Indoor/Outdoor)
3. Aerial Cable/Self-Supporting
4. Hybrid & Composite Cable
5. Armored Cable
6. Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
7. Simplex cable
8. Zipcord cable
