Optical fiber is a long thin, cylindrical fiber made of plastic or glass, that is as small as one tenth of human hair. A standard telecom optical fiber is made up of three layers that are counted inside out: fiber core (diameter 8~10um) and the cladding (diameter 130um) along with buffer coating (diameter 900um).
Fiber core and cladding is composed of silica or glass. Fiber Core and cladding layers are used to keep the light inside the core and prevent it from leaking. The fiber buffer coating is constructed of plastic or acrylic and offers handling flexibility as well as physical protection for the fiber.
Optic fibers make use of an optical phenomenon called total internal reflection. When light is injected into the fiber from one end, it’s confined inside the core not leaking out and losing its energy.
Then, light is digitally modified to represent 1 and Rc-audit.com/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=sitesar.cf%2Fsite-653.html 0 just like a computer, so information can be transferred from one place to another site which may be from San Francisco all the way to New York.
What is a fiber optic connector and how do they work?
Now you understand how optical fibers work. So what is the fiber optic connector? And what is its purpose in the fiber optic network of telecommunications?
Put it simple, a fiber optic connector’s job is similar to that of an electric power source, it connects light from one section of optical fiber with another section of optical fiber.
Since optical fibers are tiny that fiber optic connectors need to be made with high precision, and at a size of 0.1um that is just one centimeter of the human hair.
Fiber optic connectors connect two fibers from end to end to ensure that light is able to travel from one fiber into another without bouncing off the interface and loss its signal.
In addition the fact that fiber optic connectors offer cross-connect flexibility to the telecommunication network. Therefore, a computer network that is complex can be modularized and easy to manage.
Like other connectors used in electronic industry, electric industry, or the computer industry, a variety of types connected to fiber optic cables were created along the development of fiber optic communications. Certain types were once very popular in the industry and now have been used for a variety of purposes, but are now becoming obsolete.
The most well-known fiber optic connectors used nowadays comprise SC, ST, LC, FC, MTRJ, SMA and a few of other less popular ones. There are certain to be new connectors being developed as a result of the progress of this industry.
