Please distinguish between "Cold light cable" and "optic fiber". The cable contains an optic fiber, a jacket and connectors.
Another term for the same part is "fiberoptic light cable", which sounds a little bit more professional, instead of "cold light cable". But this term is less frequent in the internet.
More frequent is "fiber optic cable" used in telecommunication, but not or seldom in medical applications.
is not sufficient, as the distinction is to made between "Kaltlicht" and "Warmlicht". Cold light sources like LED do emit less IR frequencies like incandescent bulbs.
As far as I can tell, there is an important distinction to be made between "Kaltlichtquelle" and "Lichtquelle", but not between "Kaltlightkabel" and "Lichtkabel". "Optic fibre cable", or some variation on this (note that "fibre" is UK spelling I think) would therefore be appropriate.
But I'm not an expert in this field either.
optic fibre cables seems to be the term here. However, i would like some confirmation of experts in this field

cold light source cable
Explanation: The different phases of this surgical intervention are : - insufflation of the abdomen with CO2, - introduction of a trocar to install an endoscope (optical catheter linked to a cold light source cable so as to visualize inside the abdominal cavity http://goo.gl/A4Kyy

cold light
n
(Physics / General Physics) light emitted at low temperatures from a source that is not incandescent, such as fluorescence, phosphorescence, bioluminescence, or triboluminescence http://www.thefreedictionary.com/cold light
Standard-Kaltlichtkabel für Halogen-Lichtquellen, mit Knickschutz und Zugentlastung sterilisierbar bei 134° C, ohne Adapter für Lichtquelle und Endoskop
Standard Coldlightcable for Halogen-lightsources, resistant to crushing and bending, with pull-relief, sterilizable at 134° C / 273° F , without adapters for lightsource and endoscope http://microscopixonline.co.uk/uploaded/up_126_PDF.pdf
Cold-light cables
The new high performance light conducting cable is as usual:
- autoclavable
- adaptable to different cold light sources and optics
- very flexible and
- can resist high tensile strain and has an inside breaking protection http://www.faseroptik-jena.de/index.php/en/products/cold-lig...
With all this technical refinements of Endoscopy equipment it is very frequently overlooked that also a Cold Light Cable of the same quality standard is both essential and indispensable in order to get the best visusal results and to guarantee a long lifetime especially of the telescopes in daily use.
:
- Full adaptability to connect the Figer-Light guides to all types of marketable cold-light-sources as well as to all existing brands of telescopes. http://www.rfq.de/assets/files/download/eng/pdf/blueli-e.pdf
For the construction of the optical fiber cable (or called Cold light cable) see the following Wikipedia article:
Design
A multi-fiber cable In practical fibers, the cladding is usually coated with a layer of acrylate polymer or polyimide. This coating protects the fiber from damage but does not contribute to its optical waveguide properties. Individual coated fibers (or fibers formed into ribbons or bundles) then have a tough resin buffer layer and/or core tube(s) extruded around them to form the cable core. Several layers of protective sheathing, depending on the application, are added to form the cable. Rigid fiber assemblies sometimes put light-absorbing ("dark") glass between the fibers, to prevent light that leaks out of one fiber from entering another. This reduces cross-talk between the fibers, or reduces flare in fiber bundle imaging applications.[1]
Left: LC/PC connectors
Right: SC/PC connectors
All four connectors have white caps covering the ferrules. For indoor applications, the jacketed fiber is generally enclosed, with a bundle of flexible fibrous polymer strength members like Aramid (e.g. Twaron or Kevlar), in a lightweight plastic cover to form a simple cable. Each end of the cable may be terminated with a specialized optical fiber connector to allow it to be easily connected and disconnected from transmitting and receiving equipment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_fiber_cable
Another similar term is "Fiberoptic light cable"
During shoulder arthroscopic surgery, a fiberoptic light cable was disconnected from the scope and placed on a drape covering the patient. The smell of smoke was noted in the room and a slight burn on the drape was seen under the fiberoptic light cable. http://nursing.advanceweb.com/Columns/Safety-First/Fiberopti...
The term "fiber optic cable" considered by Richard Stephen in the Discussion is a more general designation (therefore more frequent), but used mainly for telecommunication.
Fiber-optic communication is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber.
:
Optical fiber was successfully developed in 1970 by Corning Glass Works, with attenuation low enough for communication purposes (about 20dB/km), and at the same time GaAs semiconductor lasers were developed that were compact and therefore suitable for transmitting light through fiber optic cables for long distances http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber-optic_communication

Reference information: Optical fiber is also used in imaging optics. A coherent bundle of fibers is used, sometimes along with lenses, for a long, thin imaging device called an endoscope, which is used to view objects through a small hole. Medical endoscopes are used for minimally invasive exploratory or surgical procedures. Industrial endoscopes (see fiberscope or borescope) are used for inspecting anything hard to reach, such as jet engine interiors.
