Program Plan Intro

Fiber optic cable:

The wire is made up of ultra-thin filaments of glass or plastic material that is as thin as human hair and it can carry beam of light.

• The glass fiber is covered with aramid yarn and plastic covered strongly over it.
• Fiber optic cable is light based, which can carry information optically at the speed of light.
• This cable can carry more data than other cables because of its greater bandwidth and is more resistant to interference.
