Glossary

A device used to join optical fibers end-to-end, ensuring precise alignment so that light signals can pass efficiently from one fiber to another.

A type of optical fiber designed to carry light directly down the fiber with minimal dispersion, ideal for long-distance communications.

A technology that allows multiple light signals at different wavelengths to travel simultaneously on the same fiber, increasing data capacity.

The loss of signal strength as light travels through an optical fiber, usually measured in decibels (dB).

A flexible, transparent fiber made of glass or plastic that transmits light signals over long distances for telecommunications or data networking.
