ABSTRACT
This chapter presents some examples of high manufacturing techniques that are used in manufacturing very sophisticated and highly accurate dimension devices. It describes fiber optic cable types and manufacturing processes and also presents the fiber optic management and fabrication processes used in manufacturing fiber cables. Interconnection between two fiber optic cables is achieved by either connectors or splices, which link the ends of the fiber cables optically and mechanically. Connectors are devices used to connect a fiber optic cable to an optical fiber device, such as a detector, optical amplifier, or optical light power meter, or link to another fiber cable in the same mode. Fiber optic cables transmit data through very small core diameters at the speed of light. There is a variety of fabrication techniques used to produce fiber optic cables. Fiber optic cable must also not be cracked or stressed, as losses will increase.
