Optical Fiber Cable Technology

Optical fiber cable technology uses thin strands of glass or plastic fibers to transmit data as light signals. Unlike traditional copper cables, which use electrical signals, fiber optics allows for faster and more reliable communication over long distances. The light travels through the fibers by bouncing off the walls, reducing signal loss. This technology is widely used for internet, telephone, and television services, providing high-speed connections with minimal interference. Its advantages include greater bandwidth, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and the ability to support many users simultaneously.
