Fiber Optic Cables

How do fiber optic cables work?

• They transmit data as magnetic waves through metal rods.

• They transmit data as pulses of light through thin strands of glass or plastic fibers.

• They transmit data as sound waves through the air.

• They transmit data as electrical signals through copper wires.

What are the advantages of using fiber optic cables?

• Slow data transfer rates, high signal loss, and susceptibility to electromagnetic interference

• Limited data transfer rates, high signal loss, and vulnerability to electromagnetic interference

• Moderate data transfer rates, moderate signal loss, and resistance to electromagnetic interference

• High data transfer rates, low signal loss, and immunity to electromagnetic interference

What are the disadvantages of fiber optic cables?

• Unlimited flexibility, low cost, and resistance to damage

• High flexibility, low cost, and resistance to damage

• Limited speed, low cost, and durability

• Limited flexibility, high cost, and susceptibility to damage

How would you explain the installation process of fiber optic cables to Anika, Zoe, and Liam in a fun and engaging way?

• The installation process includes painting the cables to match the surroundings for better camouflage.

• The installation process involves digging a trench and burying the cable underground.

• The installation process involves planning the route, preparing the cable, laying the cable, and connecting it to the network.

• Fiber optic cables are installed by simply hanging them from telephone poles.
