Extremely high throughput. Very high resistance to noise. Excellent security. Ability to carry signals for much longer distances before requiring repeaters than copper cable.2014-04-08
What are the 2 types of fiber optic cable?
There are two primary types of fibre – multimode and singlemode. Multimode fibre can carry multiple light rays (modes) at the same time by having varying optical properties at the core; essentially light travelling the shortest path (down the middle) travels the slowest.
