  • Does ordinary optical fiber cable burn

    Does ordinary optical fiber cable burn

    Since fiber optic cable carries no electricity, we don't worry about electrocution. In this work, we analyze the thermal effects occurring in optical fibres, such as the coating heating due to high power propagation in bent fibres and the fibre fuse effect. We describe the actual state of the art of these phenomena and our contribution to the subject, which consists on both. The more surprising effect, however, is that a fiber can also burn down starting from the output end. Similarly, we don't think about personal or property damage due to fire because it isn't a source of heat Understanding the safety hazards that go with fiber optic cable is critical for those who install or maintain.
