2. Fiber-optic cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_cable

   This is an accepted version of this page This is the latest accepted revision, reviewed on 19 January 2025. Cable assembly containing one or more optical fibers that are used to carry light A TOSLINK optical fiber cable with a clear jacket. These cables are used mainly for digital audio connections between devices. A fiber-optic cable, also known as an optical-fiber cable, is an assembly ...

3. Single-mode optical fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-mode_optical_fiber

   In fiber-optic communication, a single-mode optical fiber (SMF), also known as fundamental- or mono-mode, [1] is an optical fiber designed to carry only a single mode of light - the transverse mode. Modes are the possible solutions of the Helmholtz equation for waves, which is obtained by combining Maxwell's equations and the boundary conditions.

4. Direct-buried cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-buried_cable

   Cross-section of direct buried cable. Direct-buried cable (DBC) is a kind of communications or transmissions electrical cable which is especially designed to be buried under the ground without any other cover, sheath, or duct to protect it. [1] Most direct-buried cable is built to specific tolerances to heat, moisture, conductivity, and soil ...

   Single-mode optical fibers can be made with extremely low loss. Corning's Vascade® EX2500 fiber, a low loss single-mode fiber for telecommunications wavelengths, has a nominal attenuation of 0.148 dB/km at 1550 nm. [65] A 10 km length of such fiber transmits nearly 71% of optical energy at 1550 nm.

6. Optical ground wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_ground_wire

   The optical fiber itself is an insulator and is immune to power transmission line and lightning induction, external electrical noise and crosstalk. Typically OPGW cables contain single-mode optical fibers with low transmission loss, allowing long distance transmission at high

7. Polarization-maintaining optical fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarization-maintaining...

   In fiber optics, polarization-maintaining optical fiber (PMF or PM fiber) is a single-mode optical fiber in which linearly polarized light, if properly launched into the fiber, maintains a linear polarization during propagation, exiting the fiber in a specific linear polarization state; there is little or no cross-coupling of optical power ...
