These industries benefit from the clean
transmission of data over thin fiber optic filaments. |
| However,
here at The Fiber Optic Store.com, we're more interested in the
fibers unique ability to transmit light.
The hand to the right is holding unjacketed strands of fiber optic filament.
The other end of these filaments are directed into a light
source. The light travels through the fibers which causes the
end to illuminate. |
