The Runkel ratio of wood fiber is calculated by dividing the length of the fiber by the square root of the width of the fiber. The formula is R = L / √W, where R is the Runkel ratio, L is the length, and W is the width of the fiber. This ratio is used to describe the flexibility and bending properties of the fiber.
An optical fiber is a glass or plastic fiber that carries light along its length. Fiber optics is the overlap of applied science and engineering concerned with the design and application of optical fibers.
contraction strength at any given fiber length
Staple
A Fiber has a length of atleast 100 times its diameter or width. and its length must be atleast 0.2 in (0.5 cm)
Several meters.

staple is an element of fiber, pertaining to the length of an individual fibrous hair. Staple length is useful to handspinners to know how finely to spin their wool based on the breed. Staple can vary between breeds of wool or other fiber, e.g. Merino commonly has a staple of 2-4 inches, while others may have very long staple length. To see for yourself, hold a small piece of fiber or roving from either end and gently pull outwards, until the fiber pulls appart. Measure one of the pieces, and that is your approximate staple length.
1000baseLX is a fiber optic standard for gigabit transmission. It can be up to 5 km using SMF fiber. MMF fiber will allow a maximum segment length of 550 meters.nodes per cable segament
