Fibre optic cables offer significantly higher bandwidth compared to coaxial cables, CAT-5 UTP cables, and standard electrical cables used for communication.
– Higher bandwidth means the medium can transmit more data per unit of time.
– Fibre optic cables use light signals to transmit data along glass or plastic fibres, offering extremely high speeds and large bandwidths over long distances.
– Coaxial and UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cables use electrical signals over copper wires, with lower bandwidth limitations compared to fibre optics.
Fibre optic cables are widely used in modern communication networks, including backbone networks, internet infrastructure, and high-speed local area networks (LANs), due to their superior performance characteristics, including high bandwidth, low signal loss, and immunity to electromagnetic interference.
