Optical Connectivity
Topic
Optical connectivity, commonly referred to as fiber optics, is a method of transmitting information from one place to another by sending pulses of light through an optical fiber. This technology is highly preferred over traditional electrical cabling due to its high bandwidth, long-distance capabilities, and immunity to electromagnetic interference. It forms the backbone of modern telecommunications, enabling high-speed data, voice, and video transmission globally.
