The fibre-optic industry is one of the most innovative and rapidly growing telecommunication industries of the present time and has a history of over 25 years.

The application of fibre-optics includes several products,such as multifibre cables for outdoor data-links covering distances from a few hundred metres up to hundreds of kilometres, also single- and multifibre cables for indoor use. Indoor applications including local access area offices for telephone, Internet, Cable-TV, LAN (Local Area Network), WAN (Wide Area Network) and number of others, use many active and passive components, such as transmitters, receivers, optical switches, couplers and many types of fibre-optic connection cables.
