FTTC networks (fiber to the node) involve bringing optical fiber to a node located near end users who connect to such a node using conventional copper cables. Applications of optical fibers The most common use of optical fibers is, of course, telecommunications. As we have already mentioned, over 99 percent of all data transmitted on Earth travels over fiber optic links. Thick fiber optic cables are the primary means of transmitting data between all continents except Antarctica. Fiber optic networks have many advantages over traditional copper cables - primarily, they C Level Contact List are able to transmit much more data using a cable of the same thickness. Also traditional telephone calls: fiber optic cable can handle thousands of calls simultaneously. However, this is not their only application. Even before it was used in telecommunications, fiber optic technology was used in medicine and space. The medical applications of optical fibers are very diverse. Fiber optics are a key component of all medical lasers, such as those used for vision surgery. The flexibility and very small diameter of optical fibers also allowed them to be used to build devices that allow doctors to look deep into our bodies - into the lungs.
