$end %adi&s Optical #iber depends on the maintenance o# total internal re#lection to carry an optical signal' (acrobends or )ery small radi&s bends in the optical #iber can change the light*s angle o# incidence eno&gh to ca&se some or a ma+ority o# the light to pass into the cladding se)erely atten&ating the signal or c&tting it o## completely' !ensile %ating !he +ob o# the strength member is to ens&re that no tensile stress is placed on the optical #iber d&ring and a#ter installation' !he strength member does ha)e physical limitations' !ensile #orces that e,ceed the physical limitations the cable -as designed to handle can damage the cable and possibly brea. the optical #iber'
