1Fiber-optic communication — An optical fiber junction box. The yellow cables are single mode fibers; the orange and blue cables are multi mode fibers: 50/125 µm OM2 and 50/125 µm OM3 fibers respectively. Fiber optic communication is a method of transmitting information from …
2Fiber Distributed Data Interface — Abbreviated FDDI. The ANSI X3T9.5 specification for fiber optic networks transmitting at a speed of up to 100Mbps over a dual, counter rotating, token ring topology. FDDI s 100Mbps speed is close to the internal speed of most computers, which… …
3fiber-optic cable — A transmission technology that sends pulses of light along specially manufactured optical fibers. Each fiber consists of a core, thinner than a human hair, surrounded by a sheath with a much lower refractive index. Light signals introduced… …
4fiber-illuminated — fi·ber il·lu·mi·nat·ed (fiґbər ĭ looґmĭ nāt″əd) transmitting light by means of bundles of glass or plastic fibers, utilizing a lens system to transmit the image; said of endoscopes of such design …

6Optical fiber cable — A TOSLINK optical fiber cable with a clear jacket. These plastic fiber cables are used mainly for digital audio connections between devices. An optical fiber cable is a cable containing one or more optical fibers. The optical fiber elements are… …
7Dark fiber — In fiber optic communications, dark fiber or unlit fiber (or fibre) refers to unused fibers, available for use.The term was originally used when talking about the potential network capacity of telecommunication infrastructure, but now also refers …
8Glass fiber reinforced concrete — (GFRC) is a type of fiber reinforced concrete. Glass fiber concretes are mainly used in exterior building façade panels and as architectural precast concrete. This material is very good in making shapes on the front of any building and it is less …
9optical fiber — n. (Communications) A thin fiber of very pure glass used to carry signals transmitted by means of light. It has much greater information carrying capacity than a copper wire, and in the 1990 s became a dominant means of transmitting telephone… …
10Gigabit Ethernet — (GbE or 1 GigE) is a term describing various technologies for transmitting Ethernet frames at a rate of a gigabit per second, as defined by the IEEE 802.3 2005 standard. Half duplex gigabit links connected through hubs are allowed by the… …
