What is the difference between a fiber-optic cable and a twisted-pair cable?

Fiber optic cable has higher data transmission rate compare to twisted-pair cable.
Twisted pair cables (or common telephone wires) are composed of individual pairs of copper wires that are insulated by plastic and twisted together. These wire pairs are then bundled together into one cable then covered by a plastic or lead insulator. Whereas, Fibre Optic Cables are composed of lightweight, hair-thin strands of plastic or glass that use light as a conductor of data transmission signals. Electrical signals must be translated into pulses of light that are sent over the optical fiber by a light source such as a laser or a Light Emitting Diode (LED). The individual fiber optic strands are covered in such a way as to minimize loss of light on the line. - Jvy (MKJB)
