Optical Fiber Networks

Optical fiber networks use thin strands of glass or plastic to transmit data as pulses of light. These fibers carry large amounts of information quickly over long distances with minimal loss. The light signals are generated by lasers or LEDs and travel through the fiber's core, reflecting internally to reach their destination efficiently. This technology underpins high-speed internet, cable TV, and telecommunications, offering faster, more reliable connections compared to traditional copper wires. Optical fiber networks are vital for supporting modern digital communication, enabling high bandwidth, low latency, and robust data transfer.
