Optical fiber is used as a medium for telecommunication and computer networking because it is flexible and can be bundled as cables.
The chainflex fiber optic cables as gradient fiber glass cables pof polymeric optical fiber and hcs hard clad silica optical fiber provide the smallest mechanical bending radii for the application in energy chains.
These components can be mixed and matched to meet nearly any design requirement or application need.
Offering greater bandwidth than copper cable fiber optic cables have quickly become the go to cable solution in communications industrial networking sensing and avionics applications.
This allows long distances to be spanned with few repeaters.
Single mode fiber optic cable.
Fiber optic cable types multimode fiber optic cable description.
Our extensive line of indoor and outdoor cable products are third party tested by electrical testing laboratories etl or underwriters laboratories ul and approved for use by the national electric code nec.
Multimode fiber has a larger core than single mode.
Today there are more than 2 billion kilometers of fiber installed around the globe and corning continues to lead the industry in product quality and innovation.
It is especially advantageous for long distance communications because infrared light propagates through the fiber with much lower attenuation compared to electricity in electrical cables.
