Fiber optic cables, also referred to as optical fiber cables or simply fiber cables, are composed of thin, flexible glass or plastic strands that transmit digital signals through light. These cables are commonly used in telecommunications, internet networking, and cable television systems for their high-speed data transfer capabilities. Other synonyms for fiber cables include optical cables, fiber optic lines, fiber optics, optical fibers, and optical fibers cables. Although these terms are interchangeable, they all refer to the same type of ultra-fast data transmission technology. With fiber optic technology constantly advancing, these various synonyms for fiber cables may continue to evolve as well.
