Fiber optic cables are network cables containing strands of glass fibers inside an insulated case. These are mainly used as a medium for telecommunications and computer networking. They are also used as light guides, imaging tools, and lasers for medical surgery, and as wiring in aircraft, submarines, and other vehicles. The main types of fiber optic cable are glass optical fiber and plastic optical fiber. Glass optical fibers are typically composed of a core of pure glass (SiO2) and cladding of a less pure glass or plastic. Glass fiber is primarily used in communication, sensor, and measurement systems. They are an excellent choice for long-distance, high-speed communication applications due to their high transmissivity and low loss factor. They are also better suited for use in corrosive environments or at high temperatures.
