Cabling of optical fibers

$15.00

Optical fibers, although slightly flawed, can be stranded into cables using standard stranding techniques, with losses no greater than 1 dB/km. Diagrams of 12-fiber metal-shielded cable and 8-fiber nonmetallic cable are presented. Stranding and cabling techniques are described, and calculation of safe operating load is demonstrated.
