From advancing lighting technology to enabling faster internet speeds, fiber optic cables have made much of the modern world possible. Here, we’ll cover fiber optic cable uses and our fiber optics manufacturing services.

What Are Fiber Optics?

Fiber optics are essentially bundles of optical fibers made of plastic or glass that transmit data in the form of light pulses. Each fiber is approximately the thickness of a single human hair. A fiber optic cable may consist of a few to hundreds of individual fiber strands. A glass buffer tube called the cladding covers and protects this glass fiber core. Both are protected further by a strong outer jacket. Fiber optic cables are primarily used for long-distance, high-speed, and high-bandwidth data networking.
