 Optical fiber -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Although fibers can be made out of either transparent plastic or (A brittle transparent solid with irregular atomic structure) glass, the fibers used in long-distance telecommunications applications are always glass, because of the lower optical absorption.
In an optical fiber, a refracted ray is one that is refracted from the (A bar of magnetic material (as soft iron) that passes through a coil and serves to increase the inductance of the coil) core into the (A protective covering that protects the outside of a building) cladding.
For the fiber to guide the optical signal, the (The ratio of the velocity of light in a vacuum to that in a medium) refractive index of the core must be slightly higher than that of the (A protective covering that protects the outside of a building) cladding.

 Fiber Optic Tutorial - Jargon: fiber optic cable, fiber optic cable assembly, custom cable assembly.
Fiber Optics, as a universal technology, utilizes the metric system as the standard form of measurement.
This term is commonly used in the fiber optics industry to express wavelength or frequency of transmitted light.
Fiber is mostly used in the infrared region where the light is invisible to the human eye.

 Fiber-Optic Cable (Linktionary term)
The best cable from Corning and Lucent is free of all but the smallest trace elements of iron and other metals, as well as hydroxyl ions, which are present due to water molecules in the cable.
The cable has a small core (7 to 10 microns) that forces the light to follow a more linear single path down the cable, as opposed to the multipath reflections of multimode cable.
The core diameter for single-mode cable is typically 7 to 10 microns with a cladding diameter of 125 microns.

 About Fiber Optic Cable
There are two kinds of fiber optic cable in use here on the UW - Madison Campus: multimode fiber (with a 62 micron core) and single mode fiber (with a 9 micron core).
At this time, there were almost no analog uses of fiber optics, and the primary applications of fiber optic cable were done by telecommunications carriers, which could realize significant reductions in cost and improvements in reliability with long-distance cables.
Because interfaces for multimodemode fiber cost less than for single-mode fiber, and because the error rate on relatively short, campus-scale multimode cable is low, campuses use multimode fiber extensively.

 Definition of Fiber-Optic Cable
This is a cable made up of super-thin filaments of glass or other transparent materials that can carry beams of light.
Because a fiber-optic cable is light-based, data can be sent through it at the speed of light.
However, the cables are fragile and are usually placed underground, which makes them difficult and expensive to install.
