Optical fiber cable — A TOSLINK optical fiber cable with a clear jacket. These plastic fiber cables are used mainly for digital audio connections between devices. An optical fiber cable is a cable containing one or more optical fibers. The optical fiber elements are… … Wikipedia
Optical fiber connector — An optical fiber connector terminates the end of an optical fiber, and enables quicker connection and disconnection than splicing. The connectors mechanically couple and align the cores of fibers so that light can pass. Better connectors lose… … Wikipedia

Fiber-optic communication — An optical fiber junction box. The yellow cables are single mode fibers; the orange and blue cables are multi mode fibers: 50/125 µm OM2 and 50/125 µm OM3 fibers respectively. Fiber optic communication is a method of transmitting information from … Wikipedia
Plastic-clad silica fiber — In telecommunications and fiber optics, a plastic clad silica fiber or polymer clad silica fiber (PCS) is an optical fiber that has a silica based core and a plastic cladding. The cladding of a PCS fiber should not be confused with the polymer… … Wikipedia
All-silica fiber — Silica fiber or silicic acid fibres are produced from sodium silicate fibers in a dry spinning method, the sodium silicate fibres are free of non alkali metal compounds and have a mole Na2O : SiO2 ratio of 1 :3 to 1:9; the silicic acid fibres… … Wikipedia
Optical amplifier — An optical amplifier is a device that amplifies an optical signal directly, without the need to first convert it to an electrical signal. An optical amplifier may be thought of as a laser without an optical cavity, or one in which feedback from… … Wikipedia
