Fiber Optic Cable

Linden Photonics Fiber optic cables are a type of high-speed data transmission medium that uses optical fibers made of glass or plastic to transmit data as pulses of light. These cables are widely used for telecommunications, internet connectivity, and networking due to their numerous advantages over traditional copper cables, such as higher data transfer rates, longer transmission distances, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. Here are some key features and components of fiber optic cables: 1. **Core:** The core is the innermost part of the optical fiber, where the light signals travel. It is made of glass or plastic with a high refractive index to facilitate light propagation through total internal reflection. 2. **Cladding:** Surrounding the core is the cladding, which has a lower refractive index than the core. This difference in refractive index helps keep the light signals within the core by reflecting them back into the core when they approach the core-cladding interfa
