Fiber Optic Cable: A cable containing one or more optical fibers that are used to transmit data. Fiber optic cables have a core made from glass or plastic fibers that carry light to transmit data, enabling high-speed data transmission over longer distances with higher bandwidths than electrical cables. They are less susceptible to electromagnetic interference and signal loss, making them ideal for network backbones, telecommunications, and high-speed data connections in various environments.
