Basic concepts of optical fiber cables
Let me summarize the basic concepts of optical fiber cables for you.
Structural composition and working principle of optical fiber cable:
Optical fiber cable consists of the following main parts:
(1) Optical fiber core: responsible for the transmission of optical signals, achieving low-loss transmission through the principle of total reflection.
(2) Optical fiber cladding: wrapped around the outside of the optical fiber core, plays a role in limiting the leakage of optical signals.
(3) Buffer layer: located outside the cladding, providing a soft protective layer.
(4) Sheath layer: the outer layer is made of plastic or metal, providing mechanical strength and environmental protection.
Through the design of these structural levels, optical fiber cables can effectively transmit optical signals and protect optical fibers from damage by external factors.
Application scenarios of different fiber specifications in communication applications:
(1) Single-mode fiber
- Has a small fiber core diameter, suitable for long-distance high-speed transmission
- Commonly used in trunk networks, long-distance metropolitan area networks, cross-border communications and other scenarios
(2) Multimode fiber
- Has a large fiber core diameter, a shorter transmission distance but a larger bandwidth
- Suitable for short-distance LAN applications such as buildings and campuses
(3) Multi-core fiber
- Contains multiple fiber cores such as 2, 4, 8, 12, etc.
- Suitable for scenarios requiring high-capacity transmission, such as data centers
(4) Special optical fiber
- Such as bend-optimized optical fiber, radiation-resistant optical fiber, etc.
- Used in special environments or application requirements, such as industry, military, etc.
In general, different types of optical fiber cables have their own characteristics in terms of physical structure, transmission performance, etc., and need to be selected based on the needs of actual application scenarios.
