Connectors of Optical Fibre

It is the end of the optical fibre. An optical fiber connector terminates the end of an optical fiber, and enables quicker connection and disconnection than splicing. The connectors mechanically couple and align the cores of fibers so that light can pass. A variety of optical fiber connectors are available. The main differences among types […]

Working of an Optical Fibre

Optical Fibre works on the principle of total internal reflection. When light traveling in a dense medium hits a boundary at a steep angle (larger than the “critical angle” for the boundary), the light will be completely reflected. This effect is used in optical fibers to confine light in the core. Light travels along the […]

Optical Fibre as a sensor

Fiber can also use as sensors in some applications and Fibers have many uses in remote sensing. In some applications, the sensor is itself an optical fiber. In other cases, fiber is used to connect a non-fiberoptic sensor to a measurement system. Depending on the application, fiber may be used because of its small size, […]

Technical Cable - Something Different

Technical Cable is not a general and official classification of cable. But you can use the term technical cable for some cable types. Well, I am not Einstein or scientist to name to cable but I just want to share this one. This is very interesting indeed. Well, there are some cables like rope cable […]

Some other classification of cable

There are different types of classification of cable according to different aspects of the cable. If you are considering the constructive properties of cable, then you can classify the different cable as:
1. Twisted Pair Cable
2. Twinax Cable
3. Shielded Cable
4. Flexible Cables
5. Mineral-insulated copper-clad cable
These are the cables which are used in the construction work. For […]

Different Types of Cable

The different types of cable have different uses. I have been studying about the different cables and now I just want to share some of the knowledge about the cables. Some of the well known types of cable are:

1. Co-axial cable
2. Twisted Cable
3. Optical Fibre
4. Multi-core cable
5. Single Cable
6. Ribbon Cable

These are the some basic […]

How is a cable different from a wire?

Most of the non-technician people frequently use cable and wire as two synonym words but they are different in many aspects. A cable may be single or group of wires but if you say a wire, then it is a single wire. Most of the cable is insulated and covered with a non-conducting material. And […]
