Outdoor Aluminum Tape Armoured Fiber Optic Cable - ZMS kvcable Fiber optic cable or fiber is a flexible, transparent fiber. Stretched from glass (silica) or plastic to a diameter slightly thicker than the diameter of human hair. Optical fiber is most commonly used as a means of transmitting signals between both ends of the fiber. Optical fibers are widely used in communications, where they can transmit longer distances and higher bandwidths (data rates) than wire and cable. The optical fiber is used instead of the metal wire because the signal transmission loss on the optical fiber is small. In addition, optical fibers are not affected by electromagnetic interference, while metal wires are often affected by electromagnetic interference. Fibers are also used for illumination and imaging, and are usually wrapped into bundles, so that they can be used to bring light into or out of a limited space like a fiberscope. Specially designed fibers are also used in various other applications, some of which are fiber optic sensors and fiber lasers.
