  • Bending the fiber optic cable reinforcing core

    Bending the fiber optic cable reinforcing core

    Excessive bending can deform or break the fiber core, which is only about 125 microns thick. It is measured from the inside of the bend, not the outer curve. Fiber optic cables transmit data through light propagation within a glass core. Proper bend radius control ensures the integrity of optical performance and protects the glass. All fiber optic cables have specifications that must not be exceeded during installation to prevent irreparable damage to the cable. and comments on important warranty issues re-lated to handling.
