Fiber optics are a large part of our world but most people know nothing about them. This video will change that. Join me for part one of this series as I show you all about how fiber cables work and how they are constructed.

Contents:
00:00 – Intro
02:06 – Some examples of fiber cable styles
03:25 – A look at the actual glass fiber
06:09 – Refraction and how fiber optics actually work
09:35 – Modal dispersion
10:52 – Single-mode and Multi-mode cable
12:04 – Chromatic dispersion
13:30 – Parts of a fiber optic cable
14:52 – Fiber optic connectors
23:26 – Fiber cable color codes
25:21 – Fiber connector color codes

Part two of the video has been removed because my boss is paranoid that it reveals mysterious secrets of the ancient fiber masters. Sorry.
