• The unit weight is 5g. Typical Applications • Suitable for use in Local Area Network applications.
• The optical fibres support a wide range of communications protocols such as Ethernet® and Token Ring in addition to video and voice services.
• Commonly used in Telecom communications How does Fibre optic cable work? Fibre optic cable works through carrying communication signals using pulses of light generated by small lasers orlight-emitting diodes (LEDs). The cable consists of one or more strands, similar in size to a human hair. The centre of each strand is called the core, this core is the pathway for light to travel. The core is surrounded by a layer of glass that reflects light inward to avoid loss of signal and allows the light to pass through bends in the cable.
