Abstract
An extended length side emitting cable is disclosed. The cable includes transmitting and side emitting fibers. As light proceeds along the side emitting fibers, it decreases in intensity and in color quality. The transmitting fibers are coupled into the side emitting fibers to refresh the light. In this manner the cable maintains increased uniformity of color and intensity along its length.
