Fibre-Optic Cable
Fiber optic cable - consists of a glass or quartz core surrounding its shell, a layer of plastic gasket and Kevlar fiber - to add strength. All this is placed inside a Teflon or polyvinyl chloride "wrapper." The light pulse is transmitted through the core, then reflected from the shell (due to the difference in refractive indices of the core and the shell) and propagated further. Light reflection allows you to bend the cable at different angles, while transmitting a signal without loss.

Global Fiber Optic Costs Up 7% to $4.4 Billion Over the Year
In 2023, the global fiber optic market reached $4.4 billion. This corresponds to an increase of 7% compared to 2022, when sales of these products were estimated at $4.11 billion. Such data are given in the Market Research Future study, the results of which were published in early September 2024.
The authors of the report identify several key factors that contribute to the development of the industry in question. This is in particular the growing adoption of cloud computing, streaming services and other bandwidth-intensive applications. Fiber optic tape cables provide significantly faster data transfer rates than traditional copper cables, which allows you to effectively meet the needs of users. Another driver is the deployment of fiber-to-home (FTTH) networks. In addition, tape fiber is increasingly used in data centers due to the ability to provide high throughput, low latency, and long-distance information transfer capabilities.
Yangtze Optical Fibre and Cable,, Nexans Jiangsu Hengtong OpticElectric, Sumitomo Electric Industries, Corning Optical Communications,,, Sterlite Technologies,, Fujikura LS Cable System Prysmian Group Finolex Cables, Zhongtian Technology, OFS Fitel, Hengtong Group and Furukawa Electric are named among the largest players in the industry. In 2023, about 40% of the revenue from the supply of tape fiber was in the Asia-Pacific region. Optical cables with PVC sheath dominated in 2023 with a sales share of about 38.5%.
According to Market Research Future estimates, in the future, the CAGR (CAGR in complex percentage) in the market under consideration will be 7.14%. As a result, by 2032, the cost of fiber optic in the world will reach $8.19 billion.[1]
Perm Polytechnic methodology will increase fiber strength
The Perm Polytechnic methodology will increase the strength of fiber-optic sensors. The university announced this on July 28, 2023.
Scientists at the Perm Polytechnic considered the process of applying a strengthening composition to fiber and developed a model that will calculate the required coating thickness. Read more here.
