  2. OVERVIEW Fiber Optic Cables have gained lot of popularity in these recent years. They form the core of various cable infrastructures. These different types of fiber optic cables available in the market which makes it difficult to choose the right one for your business. This presentation will help you gain insights on the factors that are important in the selection process of fiber optic cables.

  3. WHAT ARE FIBER OPTIC CABLES? As the name suggests, fiber optic cables is based on the optical fibers that carry optical signals through it. these are made up of different materials and components. Fiber Optic cables are used to transfer information via pulse of light. The cables are coated in plastic to protect it from heat, cold and other weather conditions. below are few advantages that make it so popular and reliable: These cables have high data transmission capacity Minimal signal loss These cables have higher strength and require least maintenance Cost effective

  4. Single Mode Fibers - These cables are used in applications which demand long distance transmissions and extreme bandwidths. It possess a small core size of less than 10 micrometers which allows only one mode of light to pass through. TYPES OF CABLES BASED ON FIBER There is very little reflection, as the cable allows only one mode to pass through it. This helps in reducing the attenuation rate and allows the signal to travel long distances. Multimode Fibers - These types of cables have large cores of 50-62.5 micrometers which enables multiple modes to pass through them. These are used for short distances because of its high attenuation rate which reduces signals over long distance. Popular multimode fibers: 50/125 um Multimode Cables, 62.5/125 um, 50/125 um Laser Enhanced Multimode Cables.

  5. Indoor Cables: These cables are designed for indoors and mostly used in homes, offices and retail stores. These cables are not suitable under harsh environment but are fire resistant. TYPES OF CABLES BASED ON APPLICATIONS These cables are tightly buffered due to its one-fiber construction. The fiber is contained in a 3mm jacket. The indoor cables used for power distribution comprise several fibers that are tightly bundled in a jacket. Outdoor Cables - These cables are suitable for outdoor use only and can withstand harsh environments and protect from moisture. Some popular types of outdoor cables: Ribbon fiber optic cables Loose tube fiber optic cables Aerial fiber optic cables armored fiber optic cables

  6. TYPES OF CABLES BASED ON COMMUNICA TION CHANNELS Simplex Fiber Optic Cables: Single strand of plastic fiber Enables one way data transfer Core diameter of 8 microns or 10 microns used in various applications like automated speed and boundary sensors, digital data readouts etc. Duplex Fiber Optic Cables: There are two strands of fiber which are included in a zip- cord arrangement. These are distinguished into two types: Full Duplex and Half Duplex Fiber Optic Cables.

  7. WHICH ARE THE POPULAR CONNECTORS FOR FOC? ST Connector - ST connector is also known as a bayonet- style connector because it is usually twisted to lock. SC - Subscriber Connector(SC) offers easy installation, is durable and cost effective. The connectors are kept in place using a push/pull mating mechanism. LC - These Connectors are similar to SC Connectors but are smaller in comparison. FC - These connectors have a threaded body and are widely used in high-vibration environments. MTRJ - The connectors look similar to RJ style modular plugs, which is where they get their name from.

  8. FIBER OPTIC CABLE ACCESSORIES Media Converters - Media Converters are used to connect copper cables and fiber optic cables in applications. Fiber Optic Network Switches - These devices enable users to boost their traffic and network speed. SFP Transceivers - SFP transceivers are used with multimode or single mode fiber optic cables and copper cables.
