Fiber optic cables are composed of one or more transparent optical fibers enclosed in protective coverings and strength members. Fiber optic cables are used to transmit "light" data.
Fiber optic connectors are used to align and join two or more fibers together to provide a means for attaching to, or decoupling from, a transmitter, receiver, or other fiber optic device.
Fiber optic termination equipment and fiber optic splicing equipment includes tools or kits for cutting, finishing, positioning, aligning and joining fiber optic cables.
