    Indoor fiber optic cables:
    • To protect the fibers from mechanical stress during
    and after installation.
    • To be more flexible.
    • To meet standard cods [such as national electric code
    (NEC) and any other building codes].

    3
    The benefits of indoor Fiber Optic Cable:
    • Minimises weight and cable installation
    • Minimises number and size of conduits
    • Provides maximum number of cables per conduit
    • Ensures system compatibility and interoperability
    • Complete range of cables
    • Fast and accurate fiber identification
    • Easy to strip the fibers
    • Easy installation by laying and pulling

    The features of indoor Fiber Optic Cable:
    • Small cable diameter
    • Produced to industry specification
    • Soft buffer tubes
    • Color coded fibers
    • Low friction jacket on backbones cables

    Tight-Buffered Cable

    The tight-buffered fiber optic cable is designed for indoor


    applications. It contains a number of individually buffered
    fibers surrounding a central strength member, with an overall
    protective jacket.
    Tight Buffered Fiber Cable:
    • Used in indoor applications.
    • Each fiber is individually encapsulated in 900 µm diameter plastic
    buffer structure.
    • Enables direct plugging with connectors.
    • Resists for moisture and temperature effects.

    The functions of the consists of optical fiber cable : Write Note

    Core: This is the light transmission area of the fiber, either glass or plastic.
    The larger the core, the more light that will be transmitted into the fiber.

    Cladding: The function of the cladding is to provide a lower refractive index


    at the core interface in order to cause reflection within the core so that light
    waves are transmitted through the fiber.

    Coating: Coatings are usually multi-layers of plastic applied to preserve


    fiber strength, absorb shock and provide extra fiber protection. These buffer
    coatings are available from 250 microns to 900 microns.

    • The buffer provides each individual fiber with protection from


    the environment as well as physical support.
     
    • Tight-buffered cable is more flexible than most loose tube cable
    and thus has a smaller bending radius. On the other hand, it is
    more expensive than loose tube cable with the same fiber
    count.

    Fan-Out Cable :
     
    A fan-out cable is a high-buffered cable terminated with connectors.

    Each individual fiber has either a 900-µm or 3-mm jacket, depending


    on the application.

    The 900-µm jacket is deployed where the cable will be terminating in


    a fiber patch panel

    The 3-mm type is used where the cable connects directly to the light
    wave equipment.
    Other Cables
    1- Self-supporting Aerial Cable: A loose tube cable designed for use in
    aerial installations. It dose not require a messenger for support. The cable
    is designed with a heavy strength member (usually Kevlar) and jacket. A
    special version of this cable called the all-dielectric self-supporting cable
    is used near high voltage lines.
    2- Submarine Cables:
    A loose tube cable designed for underwater submersion. It has a heavy
    armor jacket and may contain copper pairs to provide power for in-line
    optical amplifiers.
