2. Fiber-optic cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_cable

   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 ...

3. Fiber-optic communication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_communication

   Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of infrared or visible light through an optical fiber. [1] [2] The light is a form of carrier wave that is modulated to carry information. [3]

4. Fiber to the x - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_to_the_x

   Fiber to the x (FTTX; also spelled "fibre") or fiber in the loop is a generic term for any broadband network architecture using optical fiber to provide all or part of the local loop used for last mile telecommunications. As fiber optic cables are able to carry much more data than copper cables, especially over long distances, copper telephone ...

5. Optical fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_fiber

   An optical fiber, or optical fibre, is a flexible glass or plastic fiber that can transmit light [a] from one end to the other. Such fibers find wide usage in fiber-optic communications, where they permit transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data transfer rates) than electrical cables.

6. Passive optical network - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_optical_network

   An SC APC fiber optic cable commonly used to link ONTs to the PON network. A passive optical network ( PON) is a fiber-optic telecommunications technology for delivering broadband network access to end-customers. Its architecture implements a point-to-multipoint topology in which a single optical fiber serves multiple endpoints by using ...

7. Single-mode optical fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-mode_optical_fiber

   In fiber-optic communication, a single-mode optical fiber ( SMF ), also known as fundamental- or mono-mode, [1] is an optical fiber designed to carry only a single mode of light - the transverse mode. Modes are the possible solutions of the Helmholtz equation for waves, which is obtained by combining Maxwell's equations and the boundary conditions.
