I. Preface
With the development of optical communication networks and the deepening of fiber-optic access, FTTH network construction is growing exponentially. At present, China Telecom and China Netcom have clearly indicated that they will invest heavily in the large-scale commercialization of FTTH. From this series of circumstances, the focus of fiber optic communication network construction will shift to FTTH in the next few years. The new generation of all-optical networks requires fiber optic cable as an optical signal transmission medium to provide wider working bandwidth, higher transmission rate, and longer transmission distance. It should also have a long service life and be easy to install and maintain.
