Fiber Optic Cable Report

This document summarizes the specifications of a 16-core fiber optic cable. It has a diameter of 13mm and uses single mode fiber cores that are color coded for identification. Each fiber core has an attenuation of less than 0.4dB/km at 1310nm and 0.3dB/km at 1550nm. The basic construction and sample model of the cable are also described, as well as common sources of loss such as attenuation, absorption, scattering, and dispersion.

Some Losses on Fiber Optic Cable
 Attenuation refers to the loss of light energy as the light pulse travels from one end of
the cable to the other

Absorption refers to how light energy is converted to heat in the core material because
of the impurity of the glass or plastic.

Scattering refers to the light lost due to light waves entering at the wrong angle and
being lost in the cladding because of refraction

Dispersion refers to the pulse stretching caused by the many different paths through
the cable.
