Do you mean fiber cables?
If so, each glass fiber carries a beam of light which is modulated by the information being carried. These days the data is usually binary encoded before being transmitted.

How is total internal reflection used in endoscopes?
Endoscopes are made from fibre optic cables which have a greater refractive index than that of their surroundings. Therefore light is refracted away from the normal as it passes from one medium to another. The fibres have to be made of special glass, and each fibre has to be coated with a layer of glass of a different refractive index. At a certain angle, no refraction takes place and the light is only reflected. This is called the 'critical angle'. The light is then said to have undergone the principle of total internal reflection. Close to 100% of the incident light is reflected making it more efficient than the most superior of conventional mirrors. Fibre optic cables use this notion as the light enters the fibre. As it enters it is totally internally reflected until it exits out the other end of the fibre.
Can you use static electricity to light a light bulb?
no not easily
What is the best color to use to reflect light rays?
The best color to use to reflect light rays is white. White is a reflective color. So are most light colors. So white is the best color to use to reflect light rays. :)

How do you reset service vehicle soon light?
In most cars, a service vehicle light can be reset by disconnecting the battery cables for one minute. After the cables are reconnected , the light should turn off.
How do I use cable ties on my TV?
Cable ties and useful to bundle cables together. Bundling cables together provide safety and organization of the cables. Some ties for cables are designed for a single use.
How are Monster HDMI cables cables better than standard HDMI cables?
They use higher quality materials.
How do you thaw a frozen pipe with jumper cables?
You use a welder, not jumper cables!
Why do signals in the fiber optics cables travel at the speed of light?
fiber optics transfer data at the speed of light because that's exactly what is transmitted through them... light. fiber optic cables are thin pieces of glass that transmit light pulses
What communication medium uses pulses of light?
Fiber Optics uses light to signal on and off with each pulse, copper cables use power frequency, high and low to signal on and off.
Are Cat5 and Cat5e LAN cables interchangeable?

The independent variable for a light bulbs?
The colour of the electricity cables!
Should you use HDMI cables if you do not have HD?
HDMI cables have not ports in a non hd tv so no you should not use them
