What is fiber optic cable?
Fiber optic cable is a technology that uses glass or plastic threads to transmit data. It works by sending light pulses through these fibers, enabling high-speed data transmission over long distances. Commonly used for internet, telephone, and cable television communication.
What other technologies are related to fiber optic cable?
fiber optic cable Competitor Technologies
hybrid-fiber coax (HFC)
No summary available
HFC uses fiber optic cables for the backbone but relies on coaxial cable for the final connection to the customer, thus competing with pure fiber optic solutions.
copper cable
Copper cables, particularly twisted pair and coaxial cables, serve as alternative mediums for data transmission, thus competing with fiber optic cables.
twisted pair cable
Twisted pair cables are used for Ethernet and other data transmission, offering an alternative to fiber optic in some applications.
coaxial cable
Coaxial cable can be used to transmit data. This is a competing technology to fiber optic cable.
CAT5e
CAT5e is a type of twisted pair cable used for Ethernet, providing a cheaper alternative to fiber optic for shorter distances.
Cat6
Cat6 is a type of twisted pair cable used for Ethernet, providing a cheaper alternative to fiber optic for shorter distances.
Cat 5E
Cat 5E is a type of twisted pair cable used for Ethernet, providing a cheaper alternative to fiber optic for shorter distances.
UTP
UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) is a type of twisted pair cable used for Ethernet, providing a cheaper alternative to fiber optic for shorter distances.
