...fibre optic devices and cable to filter the strength of the fibre optic signal. Depending on the type of attenuator attached to the devices at each end of the fibre optic cable, you can diminish the strength of the light signal a variable amount, me...

Fibre optic cable construction • Fibre optic cable construction • Core • This is the physical medium that transports optical data signals from an attached light source to a receiving device. The core is a single continuous strand of glass or p...

...Shielded vs. unshielded cables • Shielded vs. unshielded cables • The environment determines whether cable should be shielded or unshielded. Quiet office environments, busy retail establishments, and individual workshops all require different levels...

...Fibre • Multimode fibre cable has a large-diameter core and therefore has multiple modes of propagation—that is, several wavelengths of light are used in the fibre core. It’s primarily used for lighter- capacity or shorter-distance applications. • M...
