Optical fiber cables transmit light from one end to the other. The data is encoded into this light beam and travels down the fiber in this light. Obviously you need optical sensors at each end to get the information in and out.

How does fiber optics transmit data?
Fibre Optics transmit data via refraction. It uses the concepts of Core and cladding.
What is fiber optic broadband?
"Broadband" is just a relative description of how fast you can transmit data. (It implies a high rate) "Fiber optic" is a description of the physical method used to transmit the data: it's not by copper wire or by radio wave.
What are strands of glass tha transmit digital data by pulses?
Fiber optic cables transmit digital signals as pulses of light.
Is used to transmit data?
To transmit data, you need several things, including:* A source of power * A protocol * A medium, such as a cable or fiber optic * Some sort of device that does the transmitting and receiving * The data itself
Which of the following cable types can transmit data the LONGEST distance without the use of a repeater?
fiber optic
What uses a double ring of multimode or single-mode fiber to transmit data at speeds of 100 Mbps?
FDDI
What is fiber network?
Fibreoptic networking is networks wired up with fiberoptic cables firberoptics use light to transmit data
What are fiber-optics?
Fiber optics are cables that are used to transmit data at the speed of light. This uis especially popular with Verizon FiOS services. for details on fios go to www.whyisfiosbetter.viviti.com
What is the difference between a fiber optic cable and a regular cable?
Fiber optic cables utilize glass or plastic fibers instead of metal wires to transmit data. A fiber optic cable allows for a higher rate of the transmission of data, which is good for things like the internet.
What are optic fibers used for?
If you mean Fiber Optics, then those are used to transmit data usually on a DSL line, to the ISP and back to you.
What is fiber optic networking?
Fibreoptic networking is networks wired up with fiberoptic cables firberoptics use light to transmit data
Different between fiber optical cable and copper cable?
Fiber optic cable is constructed out of glass or plastic, and uses light pulses to transmit data. Copper cable is made out of copper material (not glass or plastic) and uses electrical voltages to transmit signals.
