The main function of optical cables is to transmit optical signals, which can meet the requirements of optics, mechanics, environment, and other aspects. They are usually placed inside one or more optical fibers and can be individually or in groups to form communication cable components.


Fiber optic cable is a communication cable component that can be used individually or in groups as a transmission medium. Fiber optic cables are mainly composed of optical fibers, plastic protective sleeves, and plastic sheaths. There are no metals such as gold, silver, copper, or aluminum inside the cable, and it generally has no recycling value. Fiber optic cable is a type of communication line that consists of a certain number of optical fibers arranged in a certain way to form a cable core, which is wrapped with a sheath and some are also wrapped with an outer protective layer, used to achieve optical signal transmission
