It means how far you can stretch it before it breaks and when it loses it's transmission /mechanical properties. The result is called breaking strength and is expressed in DaN (DecaNewtons) Hope this helps. It is not just for fibre optic cables but for all cables. I worked 15 years for a cable c°.

Can fiber optic cable be connected to a coaxial cable?

a basic cable system works as follows information is received via satellite from the information providers also known as a channel in what is known as a head end where they process the signal and insert it into qualms which leave the head end on fiber optic cable by laser till it gets to the neighborhood or neighborhoods where there are subscribers. the fiber optics then hit what is called a node. at the node a fiber optical receiver changes it from light into db which is then sent out on distribution style coaxial cable usually a plastic based coating quantum reach style cable or qr cable. it then hits an amplifier where it is jumped up to about 40 db give or take as it travels down the street. where there is a house there is a tap in the qr cable, which is where the coaxial cable people are most familiar with starts

What is the fastest channel of data transmission it is coaxial cable or optical fiber cable or another?

the fastest way to transmit data is certainly not coax it is fiber optics u can run city blocks of cable, on one hair size thread of fiber optic hope this is helpful. p.s when transmitting data through coax it takes Amplifiers and A.C. to boost the R>F signal about every three to four city blocks while fiber optics has no A.C and as i said a hair siZe thread can run city blocks


What exactly is a media converter?

there are different network media,fiber,copper cable etc.to make communication in different media,need the media converter,for example,fiber media converter making the copper ethernet over fiber transmission,E1/ethernet converter making the ethernet over E1 conversion.
