Fiber Optic Cable also known as optical fiber cable, is an assembly similar to an electrical cable. But it contains one or more optical fibers that are used to carry light. Composed of connector and optical fiber, fiber optic cables provide better transmission performance than copper cables and is widely used in most transmission systems.
What are the applications of optic fiber cables? The main applications are as follows:
Communications: Optical fiber cables have wide applications and is only used for communications.
Telecom: for high speed data transfer to meed increasing demand of data(4G/5G) along with telephone connectivity.
Medicine: Endoscopy,laser surgery,etc
Internet: Submarine cables are all of optical fibers connecting intercontinental countries to form internet.
These are the mostly applicable areas not limiting to marine technology, military, research lab and many more.
