optical cable uses cristal to transport light where the information is passed throug. It is much faster than copper or other cable in existence.
An optical fiber (or fibre) is a glass or plastic fiber that carries light along its length. Optical fibers are widely used in fiber-optic communications, which permits transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths (data rates) than other forms of communications

Optical fiber is immune to electrical noise, interference and distortion. The bandwidth or capacity of optical is far greater than electrical transmission.

An optical splitter as its name suggests splits light. This is commonly used for splitting fiber optic communications for either business communications or for those who have fiber optic television and phone services at home.
Finisar is an electronics manufacturing company based in Sunnyvale, California, USA. They specialise in products related to optical communications such as optical amplifiers and optical modules.
Laser communication systems and optical communications in free space are closely related but not identical. Laser communication typically refers to the use of laser technology for transmitting data over distances, while optical communications in free space encompasses a broader range of methods for transmitting information using light, including lasers and other optical sources. Both utilize light to convey information through the atmosphere, but laser communication specifically emphasizes the use of lasers for focused, high-bandwidth data transmission.
