Fiber Optic Cables: Fundamentals, Cable Engineering, Systems Planning, 3rd Edition

By Günther Mahlke

This publication is directed towards all who deal with design, construction and maintenance of fiber optic cable plants. Furthermore, it provides basic information as an introduction to specialized technical literature. In order to make it easier to study the many specialized publications, the book contains a detailed glossary of technical terms. For the new edition, the major developments over the last years have been taken into account. As transmission rates are rapidly growing, the part on the fundamental principles has been updated with a section on nonlinear optical effects. New chapters cover tight buffer cables for customer premise cabling as well as submarine cables for non-repeatered applications and aerial cables for use by power companies. In addition, the section concerning accessory equipment like splices, connectors and closures has been considerably enlarged.
