Fiber optic cable assemblies consist of optical fibers, strength strands for support, and fiber optic connectors. A fiber optic cable is a cable that contains one or more optical fibers for the transmission of light. Fiber optic components are usually individually coated with a plastic layer and contained within a protective tube suitable for the cable deployment environment. In order for a signal to travel from one fiber optic cable to another, the fibers must be secured and properly aligned with the connecting cable fibers. The type of connector depends on the type of fiber and the intended function of the assembly. Some of the main types of connectors include ST, FC, LC, MT-RJ, SC, and MU connectors.
market drivers
The construction of 5G network will bring huge demand for fiber optic cables, which will bring huge benefits to the fiber optic cable assembly industry. Giving full play to the advantages of 5G's low latency and massive connections requires a strong fiber optic infrastructure. The new generation of communication technology represented by 5G has not only brought new demands to the optical fiber and cable industry, but also brought new impetus to its technological change. With the development of network technology, people's preference for high-speed connection equipment and systems is getting higher and higher, and there are more and more applications in IT, network security and other industries, and the use of fiber optic cable assemblies in data and network transmission is also increasing more.
