Fiber Cable Overview
Fiber Optics and Fiber Optic Cable are the core technologies at the heart of the Terrapin FTR-
D6 Fiber Transceiver
system. The ability to multiplex and de‐multiplex a variety of video,
audio and data signals so that they can be carried over a thin strand of Fiber Optic cable for
long distances enables the Terrapin FTR-D6. The specific theory and operation of Fiber Optics
is beyond the scope of this document.
