Fiber-Optic cable
Fiber-optic cable uses glass or plastic filaments to move data
and provides greater bandwidth as well as longer cable runs. With the need for
network speed seemingly on the rise, fiber-optic installations are becoming
commonplace.
Fiber-optic cable uses pulses of light as its data-transfer
method. This means a light source is required, and lasers or light-emitting
diodes are used. Fiber-optic cable is more expensive and more difficult to
install than copper cable, but fiber-optic’s ability to move data faster and
farther makes it an excellent alternative to copper.
