Fiber optic cable with connectors.

A fiber optic cable is a network cable that contains strands of glass fibers inside an insulated casing. They re designed for long distance high performance data networking and telecommunications. Optical connectors are used for connection between network devices at data centers and for the connection of fiber optic cable to equipment on customer premises e g. Older specifications like cat 6a enable four connectors for a total of five cables with a combined distance of 100 meters.

Compared to wired cables fiber optic cables provide higher bandwidth and transmit data over longer distances. Most optical fiber connectors are spring loaded so the fiber faces are pressed together when the connectors are mated. Among the various types of fiber connector sc and lc are two of the most commonly used connectors. Fiber connectors are therefore generally used where flexibility is needed at termination points when an optical signal is routed.

Fiber cables transmit pulses of light instead of electrical signals so the terminations must be much more precise. Cat 8 s distance limitation ensures the 40gbps speeds and related power. Fiber optic connectors are unique.

Remateable connections are made possible by fiber connectors. Instead of merely allowing pins to make metal to metal contact fiber optic connectors must align microscopic glass fibers perfectly in order to allow for communication.
