Glossary

Unlocking Terminology: Navigating the A to Z of Key Concepts in The Light Connection.

Yellow fibers provide cable tensile strength, support, and additional protection for the optical fiber bundles. Kevlar® is a particular brand of aramid yarn.
It’s a continuously welded longitudinally applied steel tape used inside outdoor optical cables. It provides high crush resistance and prevents water penetration which makes it a suitable choice for outside plant application.
It’s a spirally-wrapped aluminum or steel armor used for indoor/ outdoor cable application. It provides flexibility and high crush resistance which makes it suitable for areas requiring extra protection for optical cables.
A measure of the decrease in energy transmission (loss of light) expressed in dB/km. In optical wave guides attenuation is primarily due to absorption losses and scattering losses.
The portion of a telecommunications network that provides connections between closets, equipment rooms, and entrance facilities.
Maximum bend allowed before physical damage is incurred. Generally expressed for two conditions, loaded (under tensile load) or unloaded.
