The Coming Market for Optical Fiber and Cable

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
C. David Chaffee

“The market for optical fiber cable has shifted dramatically in the past five years to local deployments, away from long haul and regional.” The market for optical fiber and cable is a critical piece of the broader optical components pie. Its installation is also the most labor-intensive part of the network, particularly for underground and undersea connections. The optical fiber and cable cost for a fiber optic system represents less than 10 percent of the total system installation cost if labor is included. Although price reductions have affected all types of optical...Read full article

    optical fiber
    Optical fiber is a thin, flexible, transparent strand or filament made of glass or plastic used for transmitting light signals over long distances with minimal loss of signal quality. It serves as a medium for conveying information in the form of light pulses, typically in the realm of telecommunications, networking, and data transmission. The core of an optical fiber is the central region through which light travels. It is surrounded by a cladding layer that has a lower refractive index than...
