Fibre Optic Cable is a transmission medium, which is made up of hundreds to thousands of fine, “light-conducting filaments made up of glass or plastic. (Burd, 2001, 296)" Data is changed into pulses of light, which are sent down these glass or plastic fibres. Large amounts of data can be transmitted at very hight speeds down Fibre Optic Cable, as the "bandwidth (Range of carrier wave frequencies that can be transmitted over a transmission medium (Burd, 2001, 569))" is much higher than Twisted-pair wires or Coaxial Cable.
