Answer:

The communication using optical fiber cable can be a technique of transmitting data from one location to another by transmitting light pulses. At present, these cables are used for communication like sending images, voice messages, etc. The designing of these cables can be done with plastic or glass so that the data can be transmitted effectively and quickly than copper cables. These cables changed the telecom industry by playing a key role in data transmission. So these cables replaced the copper cables. Nowadays, the world is connected to the internet. So by using a light beam of a fiber optic cable, it is possible to make a phone call, video download and website checking, etc.

What is Optical Fiber?

A cable which is used to transmit the data through fibers (threads) or plastic (glass) is known as optical fiber cable. This cable includes a pack of glass threads which transmits modulated messages over light waves. There are many advantages by using these cables over other types of communication cables like bandwidth of these cables is high, less vulnerable than metal cables to interference, less thin, lighter, and the data can be transmitted in the form of digitally. The main disadvantages of these cables are installation is expensive, more delicate and difficult to fix together
