What is a fibre-optic cable?
A fibre-optic cable is an advanced type of network cable that quickly transmits bandwidth and data via pulses of light through glass or plastic pipes. It consists of anything from a few to hundreds of optical fibers within one outer plastic sheath and performs much faster than traditional electrical cables.
