How does a fiber optic cable work?
Fiber optic cables transmit communication signals using light pulses generated by small lasers or light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The cable consists of one or more strands that are similar in size to a human hair. The center of each strand is called the core, which provides the pathway for the light. The core is surrounded by a glass layer that reflects the light inward to avoid signal loss, allowing the light to pass through bends in the cable.
