This presentation discusses fiber optic cables and their advantages over traditional copper cables. It explains that fiber optic cables can transmit signals at speeds up to 100 gigabits per second, travel longer distances without losing strength, and are less susceptible to interference. The presentation describes how fiber optic cables use total internal reflection to contain light within the core and cladding layers. It also outlines the different materials - such as glass, plastic, and coated varieties - used to construct fiber optic cables.
