Fiber-Optic Strands |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| A strand of fiber-optic cable reflects the light that passes through it back into the fiber, so light cannot escape the strand. Fiber-optic cables carry more information, suffer less interference, and require fewer signal repeaters over long distances than wires. | ||||||
