Cables

Fiber optic cables are generally classified based on the type of fiber material and the type of protective sheath or coating. They can also be distinguished by their numerical aperture (NA), a measure of the angle of acceptance of fibers, and their mode field diameter (MFD), a measure of the size of the light beam that can be transmitted.
