  • What is the copper conductor in optical fiber cable

    What is the copper conductor in optical fiber cable

    Contrary to popular belief, fiber optic cables do not contain copper. Instead, they consist primarily of glass or plastic fibers that transmit data using light signals. These fibers are surrounded by protective coatings made of materials such as polymer or epoxy resin. Fiber optic cables transmit data using light waves, enabling higher. Apparently, fibre optic cable outweighs copper cable in the aspect of speed or bandwidth.
