Fiber Optic Cable
Bundled glass rods (fibers) that are extremely thin and flexible and are capable of transmitting voice, video, and data signals in either Analog or Digital formats. This is accomplished with very little Loss in signal quality. A single glass fiber can carry the equivalent of 100 channels of television or 100,000 telephone calls, with even more capacity possible by encasing many fibers within a cable.
