Fiber optic cables, also known as optical fiber cables, are specialized cables used for transmitting data using light. Unlike conventional copper cables that transmit electrical signals, these cables consist of quartz glass or plastic fibers. They are characterized by extremely high transmission rates.
The basic structure of a fiber optic cable includes a core surrounded by a cladding. The cladding has a slightly lower refractive index than the core, which allows for efficient guidance of the light signal. Additionally, these cables are equipped with a protective coating and an outer protective sheath made of special plastics that ensure stability and resilience. This structure makes fiber optic cables a robust and high-performance solution for data transmission.
