Fiber Optic Cable

Fiber optic cables are networking cables which uses small strand of glasses.It uses light pulses to send the data from one point to other,so it also immune from Electro Magnetic Interference. It is nearly impossible to interpret the data traveling through fiber optic cable.However they are not the inexpensive option when setting up network of computers.Although some companies have started moving from typical copper wires to fiber optic cable,its an expensive choice.It is very prone to twist turns and run over.They can't be repaired only available option is there replacement.They are best choice when it comes to bandwidth,speed,resistance and speed.There are two types of fiber optic cable,single mode and multi mode.Single mode fiber cable can be used when sending data over long distance.Multi mode fiber cable can be used when sending data over shorter distance.
