Fiber optic cables use light instead of electricity to transmit and receive data which gives it the reputation for being very fast. It consists of a glass core, glass cladding, primary buffer (coating), and an outer jacket which increases your company’s protection against cyber crime. The glass core and cladding is where the signal travels through while the primary buffer (coating) that surrounds this provides the cable strong durability against bending or being trampled on. The final layer is the outer jacket which adds an extra caliber of protection.

The Anatomy of Fiber Optic Cabling
Fiber uses light signals from either LEDS or lasers. The glass core is where light travels through while the glass cladding around it keeps light confined in the core, preventing it from escaping. LED light signals reflect and bounce off the cladding as it moves down the fiber cable. Our fiber solution powered by AT&T, uses laser signals
