What's the Different between Optic Fiber and ZMS Optical Cable?

 Conceptual difference

Optical fiber and ZMS optical cable have similar names, but conceptually different. Optical fiber is a material, all called optical guide fiber, is a glass tube made of pure quartz through special process drawing. It is a transmission medium.
Optical cable is a cable, it is a kind of optical fiber as the main material, can transmit telephone, Internet information.



Structural differences
Optical fiber
The transmission principle of the optical fiber is the full reflection of the light. Fiber is usually used in the form of binding, because its brittle material, easy to break, so generally will have shell protection.

Type of optical fiber
Fiber can be divided into single-mode fiber and multi-mode fiber by transmission mode
Single-mode fiber transmission distance long and single transmission mode is single
Multimode fiber transmission modes more, but the transmission distance is relatively close, within two km.

It can be divided into quartz fiber and full plastic fiber
Quartz fibers are characterized by low loss and moderate dispersion
Full plastic fiber loss is large, but low cost.

Refractive index is divided into two categories, one is gradient fiber, one is step fiber.
The two fibers differ in the refractive index, one gradient and one mutant.

Optical cable
Optical cable is composed of optical fiber as the main material, external cable with plastic protective sleeve and plastic outer sheath. Some optical cables also have armored outer sheath.

Advantages of optical cables
Optical cable is a new type of transmission medium. Compared with the traditional metal conductor transmission medium, the optical cable is better in security, stability and network performance.
Not only that, the bandwidth of optical cable transmission also greatly exceeds the metal conductor medium, supporting longer-distance information transmission.
In addition to these advantages of optical cable, anti-electromagnetic interference, confidentiality, faster speed and so on.
