Fibre Optic Cable
Fibre-optic cable consists of glass or plastic fibres that carry data in the form of light signals. Unlike copper cable there is no electricity, only light. This adds a level to security to fibre that is missing from copper, i.e. the cable cannot be tapped to detect signals.
Fibre-optic cable is perfect for high speed, high quality data transmission and although it suffers from a form of attenuation, it is nowhere near as severe as that for copper cable.
The reliability, security and distances covered by fibre optic cable make it the natural choice as backbone cabling within buildings and between buildings.
