One of our rock-star engineers, Clark, sent me this video today because he thought it was really interesting- it shows how fiber optics are made. I’d have to agree that it is a pretty fascinating video.
This video was featured on the Discovery Channel’s “How It’s Made” television series in an episode about fiber optics. In this particular episode, employees take the viewer on a guided tour of the Browning, Texas Corning plant where fiber optics are manufactured.

it really is such an interesting process! Optics is so interesting and a lot of people don’t realize how cool some of the stuff is. Thanks for the comment!

Interesting video!
It’s quite a process isn’t it? I have got ‘fibre optic’ broadband here in the UK, no wonder my internet is much faster now I have switched from copper.
Found this on kingged.

Hi Kristin,
Indeed, the video is fascinating. I never know this is how fiber optics cables are produced. The narrator mentioned something about the fiber optic being immune to electromagnetic interference and carry more information than the copper cables. This is an amazing technology!
I have shared this comment in kingged.com where this post was found.
