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.
Note
Each patch cable has a test certificate and is provided with an ID number
RS Pro Simplex/Duplex Fibre Optic Cable Assembly
Our RS Pro Fibre Optic patch cord has been designed and created using LSZH cables and they conform to IEC, EIA and TIA standards. This OM3 patch cord is terminated with standard connectors which ensures high performing optical performance.
