What is OFC?

OFC stands for Optical Fiber Cable. It is a cable containing one or more optical fibers that are used to transmit data as light. OFC is commonly used for high-speed data transmission in telecommunications, networking, and cable television systems. Due to its low signal loss and high bandwidth, it is ideal for long-distance communication and backbone networks.

GMAW

Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) is an arc welding process that uses a continuous solid wire electrode heated and fed into the weld pool and shielded by an externally supplied gas. It is a competing welding process to Oxy-Fuel Cutting (OFC) as it is also a method for joining metals, although it is also used as a welding process.

GTAW

Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), also known as TIG welding, is an arc welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. It is a competing welding process to Oxy-Fuel Cutting (OFC) as it can also be used on various materials and joint configurations.

SMAW

Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW), also known as stick welding, is a manual arc welding process that uses a consumable electrode covered with a flux to lay the weld. SMAW offers an alternative method to Oxy-Fuel Cutting (OFC) for some applications.
