Optical fiber communications📶🛰️the technology of transmitting information through optical fibers.

Fiber-optic communication📶🛰️ is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of infrared or visible light through an optical fiber.📶🛰️ The light is a form of carrier wave that is modulated to carry information. Fiber is preferred over electrical cabling when high bandwidth, long distance, or immunity to electromagnetic interference is required. This type of communication can transmit voice, video, and telemetry through local area networks or across long distances. 📶🛰️
Optical fiber is used by many telecommunications companies to transmit telephone signals, internet communication, and cable television signals. Researchers at Bell Labs have reached a record bandwidth–distance product of over 100 petabit × kilometers per second using fiber-optic communication.📶🛰️

Fibre optics (optical fibres) are long, thin strands of very pure glass about the diameter of a human hair. They carry much more information than conventional copper wire and one of the advantages of fibre cable is that it is completely insensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI).📶🛰️

It is therefore ideal for installations in harsh industrial environments. It provides reliable transmission and high data transfer capacity over long distances. For example, almost all telephone long-distance lines (cross country) are fibre optic cables.📶🛰️

Advantages with Fibre Optic Cables vs. copper wire:📶🛰️

Speed: Operates at high data-rates – up into the gigabits
Bandwidth: Large data carrying capacity📶🛰️
Distance: Longer ranges without needing to be amplified or boosted
Immunity: Insensitive to electromagnetic interference (EMI)📶🛰️
