Optical glass fiber is a better choice than copper media for supporting both today/tomorrow`s communication network requirements. The optical fiber cable as its final product will play an important role in the high bandwidth superhighway traffic that networks will soon carry. The basic manufacturing technology of fiber optic cables, including its processes and materials, entails the same as that of the conventional copper wire cable, but the performance of the final products is strongly dependent on the details of the cabling designs, materials and processes because the optical fiber is extremely sensitive to environmental conditions. This paper will discuss the technological development of optical fiber cables used in various communication applications.
