No. Nor can direct current, for that matter. Fiber optics is designed to transmit light signals, not electrical currents.

Does coaxial cable carry a current?

Yes, this is how the data is transmitted.


What is the difference when selecting a cable between AC and DC current?

AC. is alternating current and Dc is direct current. alternating equivalant to pulsating electricity while direct is a constant draw with little fluxuation.


What is a possible effect of improperly applying a connector to a network cable?

Data transmitted through that cable may experience signal loss.


Can electrical waves be transmitted through video cable?

Yes if the power source is dry cell or small batteries. Electrical waves can be transmitted in any conductor. Video cable has lower resistance than a regular electric cable and it can only tolerate a minimal source of electrical waves.


Will voltage drop over cable distance?

If the voltage is supplying any current through the cable, i.e. if there is any 'load' at the end, then the voltage will drop through the cable.


What device is used to increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current?

A transformer is the device used to increase or decrease the voltage of alternating current (AC) This is done through a process referred to as inducing.It's operation is based on the fact that electricity produces a magnetic field around itself. By placing 2 coils of cable beside each other, the magnetic field of one coil will induce a voltage in the other coil.


What are the advantages of using a DSL internet service?

DSL is transmitted through telephone wires and is much faster than cable internet. Cable internet is sent through coaxial wires and uses frequencies to transmit.

How does data travel through a fiber optic cable?

Data travels through a fiber optic cable using light signals. These signals are sent through the cable as pulses of light, which represent the data being transmitted. The light signals bounce off the walls of the cable, allowing the data to travel quickly and efficiently over long distances.


Why does the earth cable protect us from shocks?

WARNING: VERY simplified answer. An electric current will run through the most easiest path trying to get to the ground. If the easiest path is a person, the current will run through the person and cause varying amounts of harm. If the easiest path is a simple cable running straight into the ground, the current will run through the cable. Humans have a higher resistance than cables, so the easiest path is through the cable. Or perhaps another cable made of a material with even less resistance.


What is the difference in AC welding machine and DC welding machine?

Alternating current flows from the welder through the torch into your welder, through the grounding cable, and back into your machine. It then flows in the exact opposite direction. The result is deep penetration, and removal of impurities in the weld. It is used mainly on aluminum and alloys. Direct current has both a positive and negative setting: the difference is the direction of the current. One flows from the welder, through the torch, through the material and back into the ground; the other flows in the opposite direction.


Why armour HT XLPE power cable required to Earth?

because when ever fault current occurs then the cable wont get damaged due to cable armored earthing to the gland for fault current to pass through groung
