ESKA™ Series, Fiber Optic Cables

Fiber optic cables are a type of cable used for transmitting data signals using light waves. They consist of one or more optical fibers, which are slender, flexible strands made of glass or plastic that serve as the medium for transmitting data through the modulation of light signals. These optical fibers are encased within a protective jacket made of materials such as Kevlar, which provides mechanical strength and safeguards the delicate fibers from damage due to bending, stretching, or environmental factors. The outer jacket also shields the fibers from moisture and other external elements, ensuring the integrity of the transmitted signals. Fiber optic cables are known for their high bandwidth capabilities, allowing them to transmit large amounts of data at extremely high speeds over long distances. They are widely used in telecommunications, internet connectivity, cable television, and networking, where reliable and high-speed data transmission is essential. One of the key advantages of fiber optic cables is their immunity to electromagnetic interference, making them particularly suitable for environments where electrical noise may disrupt signal transmission. Additionally, fiber optic cables offer enhanced security for data transmission, as they are difficult to tap into or intercept compared to traditional copper-based cables. In summary, fiber optic cables utilize optical fibers to transmit data signals using light waves. They are characterized by high bandwidth, resistance to electromagnetic interference, and secure data transmission, making them an essential component of modern telecommunications and networking infrastructure.
