Home / Principle of Optical Cable Outer Sheath
The outer sheath is the outermost protective jacket of a cable, acting as the primary defense mechanism for the conductors and insulation it encases. Sheathing has three core values for use in fiber optic design: Protect the fiber. They have a central core surrounded by a concentric cladding with slightly lower (by ≈ 1%) refractive index. Optical fibers are typically made of silica with index-modifying dopants such as GeO 2.
While internal components transmit power or data, the sheath ensures the entire cable assembly can survive the environment in which it is placed. This protective layer is engineered from
