On today’s information highway, perhaps the best conduit to carry data so far has been optical fiber or fiber optic cables. Fiber optics transmit data using light as the carrier through optical fibers that are thinner than a human hair. Over the years, this technology is steadily gaining popularity with its advantages like higher bandwidth, better long-distance communication, lighter weight and higher security compared to metal cables.
