What is Fiber Optic Cable?
What is fiber optic cable? Optical fiber or fiber optic cables are glass or plastic fibers through which light can be easily directed. When a light is shined on one end of the fiber optic lighting cable, it is seen that this light comes out from the other end of the cable.
There are a wide variety of fiber lighting cables according to their usage areas.
- Fiber optic cables used in the communication and electronics industry
- Some of the fiber optic cables used in the lighting sector are given below, and these types are separated among themselves in different thicknesses and different models.
- Single core unsheathed fiber optic cables with end-glow (0.25mm – 12mm)
- Jacketed single core fiber optic cables (0.50mm – 18mm) emitting light from the end can be used under concrete
- End-glow sheathed multiple fiber optic cables (3mm – 22mm) Can be used under concrete
- Side-glow unsheathed single core fiber optic cables (1mm – 12mm)
- Side-glow sheathed single core fiber optic cables (1mm – 22mm)
- Non-sheathed fiber optic cables that emit light as points from the side (1mm – 3mm)
- Sheathed fiber optic cables (3mm – 22mm) that emit light as points from the side
- Side-lighting unsheathed single round-edge corded fiber optic cables (2mm – 5mm)
