Cable knowledge
Fiber optic cables are designed in such a way that the optical fiber has, related to the cable, excess length. Depending on the cable structure, this excess length is 0.5 to 1.5 %.
Fiber optic cables are designed in such a way that the optical fiber has, related to the cable, excess length. The overlength protects the fiber in the event of bending stress or tension on the cable....
