A fiber optic cable is a cable used to transmit optical signals and consists of one or more optical fibers and a protective sheath. Optical fibers are very thin glass or plastic wires that carry light signals over great distances. The advantages of fiber optic cables include: 1. High-speed transmission: Fiber optic cables can transmit large amounts of data much faster than traditional copper cables.
2. High bandwidth: Fiber optic cables can transmit more data and can support high-definition video, audio and other high-bandwidth applications.
3. Low loss: The signal loss of fiber optic cable is very small, which can transmit the signal to a long distance.
4. Safe and reliable: the fiber optic cable will not be subject to electromagnetic interference, and will not be damaged by lightning or electric shock.
5. Lightweight and easy to use: Fiber optic cables are lighter and easier to install and maintain than traditional copper cables.
Optical fiber cables are widely used in communications, Internet, television, medical, military and other fields.
