Familiarize yourself with some friendly network cables and take a closer look at common types of network media, including twisted-pair cable, coaxial cable, fiber-optic cable, and wireless.
Fiber optic cables are the medium of choice in telecommunications infrastructure, enabling the transmission of high-speed voice, video, and data traffic in enterprise and service provider networks. Depending on the type of application and the reach to be achieved, various types of fiber may be considered and deployed. This paper describes the main characteristics of optical fiber in general, and the properties of multimode and single-mode fiber (MMF and SMF) in particular.
