Fiber optic cables are made by taking strands of extremely thin glass called optical fibers and bundling them together inside a protective covering. The glass fibers are made by drawing molten silica glass through a furnace and pulling it out to form a thin strand. These strands are then bundled together and surrounded by a protective jacket. The jacket helps to protect the cables from water, dust, and other environmental hazards. The jacket also helps to prevent the fibers from breaking and fraying.
