What is the difference between fiber optic cable and cable

Time:2022-07-01 Views:


What are cables and optical cables used for? I believe there will still be many people who have such questions. Today, I will introduce cables and optical cables separately, and summarize the differences between optical cables and cables. I hope you try to avoid stepping on thunder when using and purchasing. Let’s take a look at the details. content!

Optical cable is a communication line used to realize optical signal transmission. It is mainly composed of optical fiber (glass filament as thin as hair), plastic protective sleeve and plastic outer skin. There is no metal such as gold, silver, copper and aluminum in the optical cable, and generally has no recycling value. Optical cable is a kind of communication line in which a certain number of optical fibers form a cable core according to a certain method, which is covered with a sheath, and some are also covered with an outer sheath to realize optical signal transmission.

The optical cable is composed of three parts: the reinforcing core and the cable core, the sheath and the outer sheath. There are two types of cable core structural features: single core type and multi-core type: single core type has two types: solid type and tube bundle type; multi-core type has two types: strip type and unit type. There are two types of outer sheaths: metal armored and non-armored.
