Shift to Fibre Optic Cables


We have all been there, the frustration when the internet stops working. The restlessness to be updated with information. However, we never really tried to be informed about the working aspect of the data transfer. Or shall we call it the magic of Fibre Optic Cables?  

Do you recall the communication over landlines? Even that device used to employ the same method of information transfer in the form of light pulses. LAPP cable manufacturers India is one of the world renowned cable manufacturing company who provides with a wide range of Fibre optic cables for varied application.

Collection of thin strands of glass or plastic cable makes Fibre Optic Cables. While the light travels through the cable by bouncing off the walls of the core. If we break down an optical fibre, we will find that it consists of:
a)    Core: which ensures the transfer of information coded in a beam of light.
b)    The cladding is the insulating medium. The material of the cladding used plays an important role to ensure the occurrence of total internal reflection by having low refractive Index when compared to the core.
c) Source of light through which the information transfer takes place.
Based on the material used to make the optic fibre, which is either plastic or glass. Mentioned below is the major category with the corresponding properties:

The Plastic Fibre Optic cables are comparatively cheap and much more flexible to the physical force that it encounters. This cable doesn’t require the special technique for implementation which makes it very easy to handle. The lower weight adds to its flexibility.

While the Glass Fibre Optic cables due to its delicate nature cannot be cut, sliced or repaired that easy and needs an expert for implementation.

To conclude the Plastic Fibre Optic cables are usually preferred for short distance application where high speed is not the end objective like digital home appliances, industrial networks, and car networks. While Glass Fibre Optic cables are preferred for high-end objectives like multimedia equipment in the data transmission and military communication network, where the stakes are high.
Why not use normal copper wire for data transfer. You see how the internet speed has changed over the period of time, and the reason to that is the Fibre optic cables. A normal copper wire can never beat the amount of information that this cable can carry alone, with its property of high bandwidth.

The light travels faster than any other existing medium and there is no loss of information while this beam of light with the coded information travels through the core of the optic cable.

These cables are not susceptible to any kind of interference against the electromagnetic signals surrounding it. Giving it an upper hand over the normal cables which
under the influence of interference can corrupt the information being transferred.

The objective to deliver the information from one place to other without any break down is the idle expectation for data communication over cable and Fibre Optic cables are known to accomplish the following task in hand.

Oil Resistant Cables: Know How Important They Are!

Demands of the industrial environment are ongoing, with ever-changing trends. Cables that were able to sustain functional and operational integrity a decade ago would not be adequate to survive in the environment of a present day manufacturing site. Everywhere, from the renewable energy industry and automotive assembly plants to the factories that manufacture small office machines, and even in some commercial buildings, oil resistant cables have become increasingly important. Oils serve a dual-purpose in industrial applications, both as a coolant and lubricant, depending upon the requirements mandated by the end use application. Sustaining trouble-free cable operation under harsh chemical and environmental conditions reduces costly manufacturing downtime and helps to eliminate or minimize periodic maintenance and costly cable replacement. All of the factors mentioned play a major role that is critical to a consistent, smoothly run manufacturing operation, which in the end res...

The future with Fiber Optic cables

Internet penetration in India is a major concern and will be for a while. Only 400 million of India’s 1.2 billion strong population is online, after all. As fiber optic technology continues to revolutionize the telecommunication and data capabilities of a range of industries, the average individual may not understand the advantages that fiber optic technology provides for us in our everyday life. To better understand the advantages and capabilities of fiber optic technology, we’ll outline a few basics touch points of fiber optics and their contribution to our everyday lives. Let us catch up on the benefits of optical fiber over traditional metallic wire. Benefits of Optic Fibers Vs. Traditional Metallic Wiring? Besides the fact that conventional metallic wiring is far more expensive to produce, fiber optics deliver a superior amount of quality, convenience, and durability currently unmatched in telecommunication technology. Although the majority of our practical ...

Overview of LAPP as Company

Here’s where it all started… In the early 1950s, the revolution in industrialization led to a massive demand for cables and conductors. When Oskar Lapp witnessed this development, he posed a question to himself: "How can I optimize the current method - the time-consuming manual inserting of single cores and switching strands into the outer sheaths?" In a while he got his answer. Thus the idea of the world’s first ever industrially produced flexible, colour-coded signal cable - ÖLFLEX® was conceived by Lapp and LAPP Group came into existence. When it was still something new, in 1959, LAPP gave his products brand names and it quickly allowed them to be distinguished from their competition. Even in this, Oskar Lapp became a front runner to become the first person offering catchy branding that are still very much in use. LAPP’s most well-known brand is ÖLFLEX®, that has secured a place in the history of cable manufacturers India and the rest of the world. In 1979, LAPP...
