Question

Explain the structure of Fiber Optic Cable.

Explain Fiber-optic Cable with a neat diagram.

Answer 1

1. Transparent glass fiber cables, also known as optical fiber cables, efficiently transmit light waves.
2. The cable’s central conductor is a fibre made of highly refined glass or plastic.
3. It is meant to convey light signals with minimal loss.
4. The fibre is coated with cladding or gel, which reflects signals back into the fibre and reduces signal loss. A plastic layer protects the fibers from harm.
5. The fiber optic cable is seen in the diagram below.
   
6. This cable has the capacity to carry a large amount of information at once.
7. The optical transmission system makes use of fibre optic cables.
8. This cable has a very high bandwidth. It is unaffected by electromagnetic interference and can operate over long distances.
