Let’s continue our discussion about the use of Fiber Optic (FO) cable in production and broadcast studios. In last week’s column we looked at basic optical power calculations and cable construction.

Fiber optics is a branch of optical technology that is concerned with the transmission of data as light impulses along a thin flexible glass or plastic fiber. There are two basic types of optical ...

A multimode optical fiber in which the refractive index of the core declines from its highest value at the center of the core to a value at the edge of the core that equals the refractive index of the ...

The following terms were defined with the assistance of Panduit Corporation, a leading manufacturer of wiring and network cabling products and Jeff Hecht, noted optical networking consultant and ...

Multimode, step index optical fiber offer most efficient flexible delivery of high power laser beam. Selection of the appropriate fiber type is an important consideration because the characteristics ...
