2. Fiber-optic communication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_communication

   A cable reel trailer with conduit that can carry optical fiber Multi-mode optical fiber in an underground service pit. An optical fiber cable consists of a core, cladding, and a buffer (a protective outer coating), in which the cladding guides the light along the core by using the method of total internal reflection.

3. Fiber media converter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_media_converter

   A fiber media converter is a simple networking device that makes it possible to connect two dissimilar media types such as twisted pair with fiber optic cabling. They were introduced to the industry in the 1990s, and are important in interconnecting fiber optic cabling-based systems with existing copper-based structured cabling systems.

4. Fibre Channel switch - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibre_Channel_switch

   SAN administrators typically add new switches as their server and storage needs grow, connecting switches together via fiber optic cable using the standard device ports. Some switch vendors offer dedicated high-speed stacking ports to handle inter-switch connections (similar to existing stackable Ethernet switches), allowing high-performance ...

5. Optical mesh network - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_mesh_network

   Switching, multiplexing, and grooming of traffic in an OEO device. Optical mesh networks refer to transport networks that are built directly off the mesh-like fiber infrastructure deployed in metropolitan, regional, national, or international (e.g., trans-oceanic) areas by deploying optical transport equipment that is capable of switching traffic (at the wavelength or sub-wavelength level ...

6. Switched video - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_video

   In hybrid fibre-coaxial systems, a fiber optic network extending from the operator's head end carries video channels out to a fiber optic node that services up to 2000 end points. Video is then sent via coaxial cable. Note that only a percentage of these homes are actively watching channels at a given time.

7. Fiber to the x - Wikipedia

   Fiber-optic cable being pulled underneath the streets of New York City An optical fiber jack (cover removed) in a residence with FTTH service. Fiber to the premises can be categorized according to where the optical fiber ends: FTTH (fiber-to-the-home) is a form of fiber-optic communication delivery that reaches one living or working space.
