Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a characteristic of fiber optic cables?
  • Step 1: Understand what fiber optic cables are. They are cables made of thin strands of glass or plastic that transmit data as light.
  • Step 2: Learn about bandwidth. Bandwidth refers to the amount of data that can be transmitted in a given amount of time.
  • Step 3: Compare fiber optic cables to copper cables. Copper cables transmit data using electrical signals, while fiber optic cables use light.
  • Step 4: Recognize that fiber optic cables can carry more data at once (higher bandwidth) than copper cables.
  • Step 5: Note that this higher bandwidth allows fiber optic cables to transmit data faster and over longer distances without losing quality.
