They solve it just by the small size of the optic cable its so small that it is extremely flexible

Doesn't the glass break when you bend it so hard... How did they solve it?

This is what humanity should be about, innovation and invention.

It is really good showing, useful and beautiful. I sell fiber optic patch cord, but it is first time for me to know the process of fiber. Thanks a lot !!

I co-own a fiber optic business (FOTec: Fiber Optic Technologies) so I'm glad to find this video. It's interesting to see behind the scenes of what is currently driving the communications industry. Thank you for sharing!

This is one of discovery's shows: How it's made. You should tag it or rename it as such. I doubt you'll have any problems with discovery as they are streaming episodes online on their website.

very informative video thanks for posting it, i work with fiber optics and optic connectors all day so this quenched my thirst for learning about them

then other crazy stuff like we have kids in high school preparing for jobs that arent even out yet to use technology yet to be invented to solve problems that have yet to effect us. if anyone has heard of anything like this can you give me a link to where i can watch it again, it was cool xD

i was watching this power point in my II class (Inventions and Inovations) it was actually really cool, then it talked about that weve developed fiber optic cords that carry like 1000k times (i think that was the number) the high speed internet with ethernet cords (meaning it can do 190 CD's a second) then also by like 2015 well have computers that can out compute the human mind, then by 2041 computers that can out do the human race. that was just an estimation tho. i really want to see it again
