2. All-dielectric self-supporting cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-dielectric_self...

   All-dielectric self-supporting cable. All-dielectric self-supporting (ADSS) cable is a type of optical fiber cable that is strong enough to support itself between structures without using conductive metal elements. It is used by electrical utility companies as a communications medium, installed along existing overhead transmission lines and ...

3. Fiber-optic communication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_communication

   The process of communicating using fiber optics involves the following basic steps: creating the optical signal involving the use of a transmitter, [9] usually from an electrical signal. relaying the signal along the fiber, ensuring that the signal does not become too distorted or weak. receiving the optical signal.

4. Fiber-optic cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_cable

   A fiber-optic cable, also known as an optical-fiber cable, is an assembly similar to an electrical cable but containing one or more optical fibers that are used to carry light. The optical fiber elements are typically individually coated with plastic layers and contained in a protective tube suitable for the environment where the cable is used ...

5. Optical attached cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_attached_cable

   Optical attached cable ( OPAC) is a type of fibre-optic cable that is installed by being attached to a host conductor along overhead power lines. The attachment system varies and can include wrapping, lashing or clipping the fibre-optic cable to the host. Installation is typically performed using a specialised piece of equipment that travels ...

6. Cable jetting - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_Jetting

   Cable jetting is the process of blowing a cable through a duct while simultaneously pushing the cable into the duct. Compressed air is injected at the duct inlet and flows through the duct and along the cable at high speed. (Preferably, no suction pig is used at the cable head.) The high speed air propels the cable due to drag forces and ...

7. Single-mode optical fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-mode_optical_fiber

   In fiber-optic communication, a single-mode optical fiber ( SMF ), also known as fundamental- or mono-mode, [1] is an optical fiber designed to carry only a single mode of light - the transverse mode. Modes are the possible solutions of the Helmholtz equation for waves, which is obtained by combining Maxwell's equations and the boundary conditions.

8. Multi-mode optical fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-mode_optical_fiber

   Multi-mode optical fiber. A stripped multi-mode fiber. Multi-mode optical fiber is a type of optical fiber mostly used for communication over short distances, such as within a building or on a campus. Multi-mode links can be used for data rates up to 800 Gbit/s. Multi-mode fiber has a fairly large core diameter that enables multiple light modes ...

9. The Fiber Optic Association - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fiber_Optic_Association

   The Fiber Optic Association. The Fiber Optic Association ( FOA) is an international professional society of fiber optics. The FOA was founded in 1995 by a group of trainers from industry, government and education who wanted to create industry standards for training and certifying fiber optic technicians. The FOA is a not-for-profit 501 (c)6 ...
