Reasons Why Fibre Cable Is Better Than Copper Cable!
Manage episode 329893815 series 3294436
When it comes to networking communications cables, Fibre Optic and Copper are pretty much the only possibilities. Today, we'll look at what sets them apart. Let's start with the key features of the old dependable copper phone lines.
Copper is a conductive metal. This is what makes it ideal for delivering electricity to your home. By modulating a waveform at one end and demodulating it at the other, copper wires use electron mobility to transport signals. Also, turning the waveform's patterns into an analogue or digital signal. On the other hand, a fibre-optic cable is made up of optical fibres, which are very thin strands of glass or plastic that can have as few as two or as many as several hundreds. These optical fibre cables carry information in the form of data between two sites using optical or light-based technologies.
