THE PRESENTATION
What this presentation is about?
This presentation is about giving a broad idea about the
concepts of Optical Fiber and OF Cables, (OPGW, Lashed
cables, ADSS, Under Ground & Duct Cables ) without
going into the deep technicalities. So that as and when
OF is being discussed the person who has attended this
presentation is able to understand and follow the
discussion.
Brief Flow of the Presentation.
1. What are Optical Fibers?
2. Advantages / Disadvantages of OF….
3. Various Types of OF Cables. Their
Construction , Specifications etc…
4. Some Test Equipments & Instruments
used in OF Communications.

WHAT ARE OPTICAL FIBERS ?
Optical Fibers are thins long (km) strands of ultra pure glass
(silica) or plastic that can to transmit light from one end to
another without much attenuation or loss.
The glass used to make Optical Fibers is so pure that if the
Pacific Ocean was filled with this glass then we would be
able to see the ocean bottom form the surface….!!!!
This is to be believed as repeater distances on long haul
routes for optical fibers vary from 50 to 150 km.
