1Optical 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… …
2Optical fiber, nonconductive, riser — (OFNR) is a type of optical fiber cable. As designated by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), this name is used for interior fiber optic cables which contain no electrically conductive components, and which are certified for use in… …
3Optical fiber — A bundle of optical fibers A TOSLINK fiber optic audio c …
4Optical fiber connector — An optical fiber connector terminates the end of an optical fiber, and enables quicker connection and disconnection than splicing. The connectors mechanically couple and align the cores of fibers so that light can pass. Better connectors lose… …
5Optical fiber composite overhead ground wire — (OPGW) is a type of cable that is used in the construction of electric power transmission and distribution lines. Such cable combines the functions of grounding and communications. An OPGW cable contains a tubular structure with one or more… …
6optical fiber — noun a very thin fiber made of glass that functions as a waveguide for light; used in bundles to transmit images • Syn: ↑glass fiber, ↑optical fibre, ↑glass fibre • Hypernyms: ↑fiber, ↑fibre • Part Holonyms: ↑ …
7Optical Fiber — Cable like material which transmits laser beam light much as electricity is transmitted over copper cable. See also Fibre Optic Cable …
8Multi-mode optical fiber — A 1.25 Gbit/s multi mode fiber Multi mode optical fiber (multimode fiber or MM fiber or fibre) is a type of optical fiber mostly used for communication over short distances, such as within a building or on a campus. Typical multimode links… …
9Optical communication — is any form of telecommunication that uses light as the transmission medium. An optical communication system consists of a transmitter, which encodes a message into an optical signal, a channel, which carries the signal to its destination, and a… …
10Single-mode optical fiber — In fiber optic communication, a single mode optical fiber (SMF) is an optical fiber designed to carry only a single ray of light (mode). This ray of light often contains a variety of different wavelengths. Although the ray travels parallel to the …
