A network cable made from tiny strands of glasslike material that transmit light pulses with very high efficiency and can carry massive amounts of data.

A cable containing a glass fiber for the transmission of light impulses. The light impulses carry a signal which is nearly impervious to interference and resistant to signal loss.!-- google_ad_client = "pub-6351068995715539"; google_alternate_color = "CCFFCC"; google_ad_width = 120; google_ad_height = 240; google_ad_format = "120x240_as"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_ad_channel ="3135690862"; google_color_border = "FFFFFF"; google_color_bg = "FFFFFF"; google_color_link = "336633"; google_color_url = "000000"; google_color_text = "000000";

This is a cable made up of super-thin filaments of glass or other transparent ...

Wires made of glass fiber used to transmit video, audio, voice or data providing vastly wider bandwidth than standard coaxial cable.

a thin glass cable a little thicker than a human hair surrounded by a plastic coating

Channel for optical data transmission.

A communications medium that utilizes hundreds of hair-thin, transparent fibers over which lasers transmit data as light.

A transmission medium that uses glass or plastic fibers, rather than copper wire, to transport data or voice signals. The signal is imposed on the fibers via pulses (modulation) of light from a laser or a light-emitting diode (LED). Because of its high bandwidth and lack of susceptibility to interference, fiber-optic cable is used in long-haul or noisy applications.

A cable made of thin strands of glass that transmits light flashes over great distances at rapid speeds. Typically fiber-optic cable has excellent bandwidth and is uses to supplement the older coaxial network already in place by cable companies.

is a cable that can transmit data at very high speeds. The fiber-optics within the cable guides the transmitting lasers light with small loss of information enabling very high data transfer rates.

A cable containing one or more optical fibers.

High-bandwidth transmission medium that allows data to be transmitted by modulating a light wave through a special glass or plastic fiber.

A thin, flexible, medium capable of conducting modulated light transmission. Compared to other transmission media, fiber-optic cable is more expensive, not susceptible to EMI, and capable of higher data rates.

Glass fiber used for laser transmission of video, audio, and/or data. Fiber-optic cable has a much greater bandwidth capacity than conventional cable or copper wire.

A small, lightweight cable using pulses of light for transmission. Very low error rates but extremely susceptible to damage.

fine spun-glass cabling that transmits data using laser pulses / light flashes; more efficient than metallic wire or coaxial cable, and used wherever the need for high-quality high-speed transmission justifies the higher costs. Network 21 as a whole differs from previous UCD networks in its commitment to ultra-high-speed fiber-optic cable between each building's router, and 10BASE-T connections between offices and a given building's hubs. The "quality" of a connection, the limits it places on bandwidth, can limit the types of data exchanged over a net: pictures that take minutes to load over phone-and-modem appear quickly over 10BASE-T; however, video images move slowly on 10BASE-T, and can be effective with the higher-speed 100BASE-T connections.

A cable that uses light beams to transmit information rather than electrical signals traveling over metal wires.

A transmission medium composed of a central glass optical fiber cable surrounded by cladding and an outer protective sheath. It transmits digital signals in the form of modulated light from a laser or LED (light-emitting diode).

bundles of thin glass filaments through which light can travel. Fiber offers greater transmission capacity with less interference than metal cables.

One of the video transmission ways, being used for a long distance transmission up to miles.

Physical medium capable of conducting modulated light transmission. Compared with other transmission media, fiber-optic cable is more expensive, but is not susceptible to electromagnetic interference, and is capable of higher data rates. Sometimes called optical fiber.

Transmission medium whose core consists of dozens or hundreds of thin strands of glass or plastic that use light to transmit signals. 9.34

type of cable used to connect devices on a network. Made of plastic or glass fibers covered with an opaque sheath. Digital signals are sent via code pulses of light. These cables are fast, reliable, and have extremely wide bandwidth.
