The second course, Fiber Optics II – Cable Design, explains the basic construction of fiber optic cables including the types of cables, cable properties, and performance characteristics.
A main purpose of a fiber optic cable is to protect the fiber core inside the cable that carries the light signal transmission. The following diagram shows the construction of a fiber optic cable.
Figure 2 is a drawing of the cross section details of a single and a two conductor fiber optic cable as well as a more complex multi-fiber cable. Note that the two conductor cable is similar to the common AC
Fiber optic cable sequential numbers are required at each pole location and vault wall. Sequential numbers will identify conduit length, and slack left in vaults and at poles.
In this application the fiber cable is classified as a fiber supply cable, and can only be installed, maintained and handled by electric utility employees trained and equipped to work on and around
But why fiber??? Fiber offers extremely low loss over very long distances, with high data throughput, enhanced security measures, and resistance to sources of electro-magnetic interference.
There are methods using robots to install fiber optic cable in storm sewers or other underground pipes. They have been used in center cities where construction is difficult but not widely.
This article will decode these diagrams, explaining the layered structure of a cable, the core science of light guidance, and the different designs tailored for specific tasks.
The information contained in this manual should serve as a guide to proper handling, installing, testing, and for troubleshooting problems with fiber optic cables.
