What is a Fiber Optic Cable?

• Fiber optic cables are made of thinnest strands
  of glass that enable the transmission of
  information as light. A fiber optic cable may
  contain a huge number of glass strands from a few
  to millions. These cables carry information by
  using a light-based technology.
• The main part of the cable is known as core where
  light particles travel through. There is another
  layer wrapped around the core, called cladding
  that keeps light particles inside the core. When
  light signals are sent through the fiber optic
  cable, they reflect off the core. These light
  signals dont travel at the speed of light. They
  travel around 30 slower than the speed of light,
  and this is because of the denser glass layers
  (cladding).

Types of Fiber Optic Cables

• Single-mode Fiber
• There are mainly two types of fiber optic cables
  - single-mode fiber cables and multimode fiber
  cables. Single-mode fiber cables are the simplest
  cables. These cables have thin core around 5-10
  microns. These fiber cables are generally used
  for TV, internet, and telephone signals. Due to
  very thin, signals travel down the cable without
  bouncing off the edges.

Types of Fiber Optic Cables

• Multimode Fiber Cables
• Multimode cables are ten times bigger than
  single-mode cables. These cables are used to send
  information over short distances because light
  signals bounce off the edges. Since these cables
  have broad diameter, it results in more data
  transmission. However, this also means that there
  is a huge risk of signal loss and interference.
• Fiber optical cables are better than traditional
  copper cables because of higher bandwidth and
  faster speed.

Uses for Fiber Optic Cables

• Computers - Due to higher bandwidth and less risk
  of signal interference, fiber optics are used in
  computer networking.
• Broadcasting - Fiber optic cables are used in
  broadcasting to carry data for lots of channels.
  Higher bandwidth provides better connections and
  performance.
• Medical Instruments - These are fiber optics that
  have enabled medical practitioners to peer inside
  our bodies without cutting off.
• Military and Space - Fiber optic cables are used
  to connect military equipment such as missile
  launch sites and radar tracking stations. Since
  these cables don't give off electromagnetic
  radiation, enemies cant detect presence.
