20m Fiber Optic Duplex Cable, SC - SC, Male/Male A technology that uses glass (or plastic) threads (fibers) to transmit data. A fiber optic cable consists of a bundle of glass threads, each of which is capable of transmitting messages modulated onto light waves. Fiber optics has several advantages over traditional metal communications lines :

- Greater bandwidth than metal cables (up to gigabytes)
- Less susceptible than metal cables to interference
- Much thinner and lighter than metal wires
- Data can be transmitted as Digital or Analog

Fiber optics is a particularly popular technology for local-area networks. In addition, telephone companies are steadily replacing traditional telephone lines with fiber optic cables. In the future, almost all communications will employ fiber optics.
