	Fiber Optic Lighting Dries Out
		This fiber optic cable, or tube, employs a lighting characteristic called total internal reflection to carry the light throughout the length of the cable.
		The light entering the fiber optic tube is trapped within the core and is continually reflected as it moves down the path.
		Consider also that the optical fiber is specified on the basis of the beam spread and focus of the lamp, the “angle of acceptance” of the fiber, the location of the fiber relative to the light source, and how the fiber is bundled.

	Fiber Optic Cable Overview - Fiber Optic Construction, Fiber Optic Cable
		Fiber Optic cable employs photons for the transmission of digital signals.
		A fiber optic cable consists of a strand of pure glass a little larger than a human hair.
		Fiber optic cable is resistant to electromagnetic interference and generates no radiation of its own.

		Fibers allow longer distances to be spanned before the signal has to be regenerated by expensive "repeaters." Fibers are more secure, because taps in the line can be detected, and lastly, fiber installation is streamlined due to their dramatically lower weight and smaller size compared to copper cables.
		According to KMI Corporation, specialists in fiber optic market research, by the end of 1990 there were approximately eight million miles of fiber laid in the U.S. (this is miles of fiber, not miles of cable which can contain many fibers).
		Fibers are generally used in pairs, with one fiber of the pair carrying a signal in each direction.

	TAT-9 transatlantic fiber optic cable goes into service
		To meet the tremendous demand for undersea fiber optic systems, AT&T today operates a global fleet of five cable ships and a cadre of marine tools that include four sea plows, a seabed tractor and three SCARAB remotely operated vehicles used for cable burial and repair operations.
		Although the total diameter of the fiber is 245 micrometers (about the thickness of an average human hair), the solid cylindrical core that carries the light pulses is only 8.3 micrometers (three ten-thousandths of an inch) in diameter and is surrounded by a concentric series of layers called cladding.
		The underwater fiber is exposed to a tensile test of 200,000 pounds per square inch as it transfers to the spool.
