An integral part of modern IT infrastructure is fiber optic cable. These connectors, made from glass fibers, use pulses of light to send signals.
Each cable uses fibers the width of a human hair, surrounded by a cladding that prevents light from escaping. Two types of fiber optic cable are single mode (carrying light from lasers) and multi-mode (using light from LEDs).
Supplementing the single mode’s considerable bandwidth is wave division multiplexing. With this method, light with differing wavelengths is combined and then separated at its destination, allowing the simultaneous transmission of several data streams.
Fiber optic’s enlarged capacity has several advantages. It can carry far more information at higher speeds than copper wiring, as high as 100 gigabytes per second. Fiber moves across greater distances without needing a signal booster. Moreover, it avoids most of the interference that occurs when copper cables are placed close together.
