Fibre optics factory C013 / 9199
Fibre optics factory. Worker with complete optical patch cables at a factory that produces fibre optic equipment. Optical fibres are made from flexible glass that has a high refractive index. Each fibre is then coated with an outer protective layer that has a low refractive index. This enables light to reflect of the walls of the fibre and travel its entire length with little or no absorption. Bundles of optical fibres may be used to carry images, or high volumes of data such as telephone conversations. Patch cables are used to connect one device to another for signal routing.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate workings of a fibre optics factory in Kaliningrad, Russia. In the image, a skilled female worker is seen holding complete optical patch cables that are essential components of fibre optic equipment production. These cables play a crucial role in signal routing and connecting devices for seamless communication. Fibre optics technology relies on flexible glass fibres with high refractive indices to transmit light signals efficiently. Each individual fibre is coated with an outer protective layer featuring a low refractive index, enabling light to reflect off its walls without significant absorption. This unique property allows light to travel along the entire length of the fibre with minimal loss or distortion. The bundles of optical fibres produced at this factory have diverse applications ranging from carrying images to transmitting vast volumes of data such as telephone conversations. The photograph showcases the meticulous attention to detail required in manufacturing these advanced telecommunications tools. With its focus on both human expertise and cutting-edge technology, this image highlights the vital role played by individuals like our dedicated worker in advancing global communications infrastructure. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come technologically while also inspiring us to continue pushing boundaries for future innovations in telecommunication and data transmission.
