Optical fibers carry data over long distances at high speeds using light that travels down the core of the fiber and bounces off the cladding. They have advantages over copper cables in that they can transmit data over longer distances and faster speeds while being smaller, lighter, and able to be bent. However, optical fibers are more expensive to install and can be easily damaged. Overall, while optical fibers have disadvantages, they will likely replace copper cables in networks due to their advantages.

2. • What are Optical Fibers
• Structure of Fiber Optic Cable
• Working Principle of Optical Fiber
• Advantages
• Disadvantages
• Conclusion

3. • Cable that consists of thin strands of pure glass
• Carry information in form of light
• They carry data over long distances
• At high speed
• Being used basically anywhere

4. Three Main Components:
1. Core (single strand of high-purity glass or plastic)
2. Cladding (plastic around the core “mirror”)
3. Coating (protection)

6. • Light travels down a fiber-optic cable by bouncing
repeatedly off the walls

7. • Long Distances and Fast speed
• Small size and light weight
• Fibers can be bent
• Don’t need to be maintained
or replaced as frequently

8. • Expensive to install
• Difficult to splice
• Can be easily damaged

10. Fiber optic cable has both advantages and disadvantages.
However, in the long run, optical fiber will replace copper. In
today’s network, fiber optic cable becomes more popular than
before and is widely used.
