A fiber-optic cable, also known as an optical-fiber cable, is an assembly similar to an electrical cable but containing one or more optical fibers that are used to carry light. The optical fiber elements are typically individually coated with plastic layers and contained in a protective tube suitable for the environment where the cable is used.
Cincinnati Bell, Inc., doing business as Altafiber, [3] is a regional telecommunications service provider based in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States.It provides landline telephone, fiber-optic Internet, and IPTV services through its subsidiaries Altafiber Home Phone and Hawaiian Telcom, which are the incumbent local exchange carriers for the Greater Cincinnati metropolitan area (aka "The Tri ...
An optical ground wire (also known as an OPGW or, in the IEEE standard, an optical fiber composite overhead ground wire) is a type of cable that is used in overhead power lines. Such cable combines the functions of grounding and communications .
One countermeasure of fiber tapping is encryption, to make the intercepted data unintelligible to the thief. [4] Another is to deploy a fiber-optic sensor into the existing raceway, conduit, or armored cable. In this scenario, it can be detected if someone attempts to physically access the data (copper or fiber infrastructure).
Breakout-style fiberoptic cable (also called breakout cable or fanout cable), is an optical fiber cable containing several jacketed simplex optical fibers packaged together inside an outer jacket. This differs from distribution-style cable , in which tight-buffered fibers are bundled together, with only the outer cable jacket of the cable ...
Plastic optical fiber (POF) or polymer optical fiber is an optical fiber that is made out of polymer. Similar to glass optical fiber, POF transmits light (for illumination or data) through the core of the fiber. Its chief advantage over the glass product, other aspect being equal, is its robustness under bending and stretching.
