Optical fiber is a long thin cylindrical fiber made from plastic or glass, smaller than one tenth of the human hair. A standard telecom optical fiber is made up of three layers of cylindrical shape, arranged inside out: fiber core (diameter 8~10um) and cladding (diameter of 125um) along with buffer coating (diameter 9000um).
The fiber core and cladding are composed of silica or glass. Fiber Core and cladding layers combine to contain the light within the core, without losing. The fiber buffer coating is constructed from acrylic or plastic and 275.kikitchew.com/__media__/js/netsoltrademark.php?d=toptee.getenjoyment.net%2Fsite-7523.html offers handling flexibility as well as physical protection to the fiber.
Fiber optics employ an optical phenomenon known as total internal reflection. When light is injected into the fiber from the end, it becomes kept inside the core not leaking out and losing energy.
Then light is digitally modulated to represent the numbers 1 and 0 like a computer, and information can be carried from one place to another, which could be located from San Francisco all the way to New York.
What is a fiber optic connector and what do they do?
You now know the way optical fibers function. What is the fiber optic connector? And what is its purpose in a fiber optic telecommunication network?
In simple terms The fiber optic connector’s job is similar to that of an electric power source that is used to connect light in one segment of optical fiber to another section of optical fiber.
Because optical fibers are tiny, fiber optic connectors have to be constructed with high precision, at the size of 0.1um which is one hundredth of the human hair.
Fiber optic connectors connect two fibers from end to end in a way that light can move from one fiber to another without bounce off the connector and losing its signal.
Besides fiber optic connectors, they provide cross connect flexibility to the telecommunication network. Thus, a complex computer network can be modularized and simple to manage.
Like other connectors used in electronic industry, electric industry, and computer industry, numerous types and types of connectors for fiber optics were developed along the development of fiber optic communication industry. Certain types were once very popular in the industry but they have since served their purpose and are becoming obsolete.
The most widely used fiber optic connectors that are used today are SC, ST, LC, FC, MTRJ, SMA and a few others that are less well-known. You will surely see new connectors developed with the progress of this industry.
