Life prediction for an optical fiber cable

$15.00

One common question asked about products in general is: How long will the product last? Certainly, this is a difficult question to answer. However, there are mechanisms to predict the productโ€™s life under certain considerations. In this paper, the expected life for an optical fiber cable was determined by following a series of experiments and applying the Arrhenius mathematical model. A good data fit was obtained and the life for the cable was determined.
