Fiber optic cables are flexible because they are made out of plastic that refracts light and keeps it inside the cable. The light pretty much bounces its way down the inside of the cable by passing through different layers of plastic that bend the light and keeps it moving towards one direction.

What is a adequet?
It is like pipes that run everywhere. We got it from Rome. That's why we have pipes today!
Do hot water pipes freeze faster than cold water pipes?
Why is the second paragraph a contradiction of the first? If hot water pipes 'Absolutely' do not freeze faster than cold water pipes then why the comment about the cold water pipes having a larger diameter which causes them to freeze at a slower rate than the smaller hot water pipes? Also, the word then in the last line should be thanand there should be an a between usually and larger. And, piping should be changed to pipe.
What are symptoms of water pipes freezing?
Result is broken pipes, so symptoms are: 1) no Water at faucet 2) leaking water elsewhere.
Will toilet paper digest?
Toilet paper is designed to break down quickly in water, making it suitable for plumbing systems. While it won't "digest" in the same way food does, it will disintegrate into smaller fibers when exposed to moisture. This property helps prevent clogs in pipes and septic systems. However, the rate of breakdown can vary depending on the type and thickness of the toilet paper.
How do people kill seals?
They club them, ususally with metal pipes.
Why are optical fibers often called light pipes?
light can be trapped by total internal reflection inside a bent a glass rod and 'piped' along a curved path,A single very thin glass fibre behaves in the same way. if several thousand such fibres are trapped together a flexible light pipe is obtained that can be used, for example, by doctors as an 'endoscope', to obtain an image of an internal organ in the body, by engineers to light up some awkward sport for inspection.the latest telephone 'cable' are optical (very pure glass) fibres carrying information as pulses of laser light.

What is abbreviation of GRP in pipes?
The abbreviation "GRP" stands for Glass Reinforced Plastic. It refers to a composite material made of plastic reinforced with glass fibers, commonly used in the construction of pipes due to its lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and durable properties. GRP pipes are often employed in various applications, including water supply, sewage systems, and industrial processes.
What is the person who repairs pipes?
In the U.S. they are called plumbers, assuming you mean water pipes, and not the pipes that one smokes.
What are the plastic pipes called that wires run through?
The pipes are PVC electrical conduits.

What is the sound of pipes called?
The sound produced by pipes, particularly in musical contexts, is often referred to as "tonal" or "pipe music." In the case of wind instruments like organ pipes or bagpipes, the sound can also be described as "piping." Additionally, the specific sound of pipes can vary based on their material, shape, and the method of sound production, leading to different tonal qualities.
What to use to create a water-tight connection between brass and plastic pipes?
flax fibers, teflon would probably do the trick too.
What does Stick it between the pipes' mean?
It means shooting the puck in hockey into the goal (used to be called the pipes)
What is a shorter form of the word bagpipes?
quite often it is just shortened to pipes. Ie. "The Massed Pipes and Drums"
Should you use fiber optic lighting?
Less expensive - Several miles of optical cable can be made cheaper than equivalent lengths of copper wire. This saves your provider (cable TV, Internet) and you money. Thinner - Optical fibers can be drawn to smaller diameters than copper wire. Higher carrying capacity - Because optical fibers are thinner than copper wires, more fibers can be bundled into a given-diameter cable than copper wires. This allows more phone lines to go over the same cable or more channels to come through the cable into your cable TV box. Less signal degradation - The loss of signal in optical fiber is less than in copper wire. Light signals - Unlike electrical signals in copper wires, light signals from one fiber do not interfere with those of other fibers in the same cable. This means clearer phone conversations or TV reception. Low power - Because signals in optical fibers degrade less, lower-power transmitters can be used instead of the high-voltage electrical transmitters needed for copper wires. Again, this saves your provider and you money. Digital signals - Optical fibers are ideally suited for carrying digital information, which is especially useful in computer networks. Non-flammable - Because no electricity is passed through optical fibers, there is no fire hazard. Lightweight - An optical cable weighs less than a comparable copper wire cable. Fiber-optic cables take up less space in the ground. Flexible - Because fiber optics are so flexible and can transmit and receive light, they are used in many flexible digital cameras for the following purposes:Medical imaging - in bronchoscopes, endoscopes, laparoscopesMechanical imaging - inspecting mechanical welds in pipes and engines (in airplanes, rockets, space shuttles, cars)Plumbing - to inspect sewer linesBecause of these advantages, you see fiber optics in many industries, most notably telecommunications and computer networks. For example, if you telephone Europe from the United States (or vice versa) and the signal is bounced off a communications satellite, you often hear an echo on the line. But with transatlantic fiber-optic cables, you have a direct connection with no echoes.
How uPVC pipes are made?
Unplasticised PVC, usually called uPVC, is used to make pipes and window frames.
