FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -A fiber-optic cable is composed of very thin strands of glass or plastic known as optical fibers; one cable can have as few as two strands or as many as several hundreds of them. These optical fiber cables carry information in the form of data between two places using optical or light-based technology.

Detailed explanation-2: -The different components that make up a fiber cable are the core, cladding, Kevlar®, ferrule, and connector. After assembly, the fiber core is polished and then it is ready to transmit data. The core is a continuous strand of super thin glass that is roughly the same size as a human hair.

Detailed explanation-3: -Optical fibers are most commonly made of 3 materials: large core plastic fiber, small core plastic fiber, and glass fiber. Large and small core fiber optics differ in diameter and manufacturing process, but are essentially the same in terms of performance and characteristics.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fiber optics is the technology used by internet services such as Verizon Fios home internet to transmit information as pulses of light through strands of fiber made of glass or plastic over long distances.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fiber-optic cables transmit data via pulses of light. Optical fibers are very thin strands of glass or plastic less than 1/10 the thickness of a human hair.
