Fiber Cables

Just what exactly is a fiber cable, and what purpose does it serve us? I mean, there's just a lot of new technology being introduced in the market right now that I sometimes find it hard to distinguish one from the other. Anyway, I did a little bit research online and I found out...

"Without fiber optics cables, advancements like the Internet, pay-per-view movies and breakthroughs in medical imaging would have been unlikely to happen".

"While cable television and Internet are obvious benefits to the consumer, fiber optics cables also has provided for several breakthroughs in medical and engineering imaging. Laparoscopic surgery and imaging was a direct result of developments in fiber optics technology, allowing surgeons to use the tiny, hair-like cables to peer into the human body and detect any abnormalities. This technology also allows doctors to transmit their findings to other doctors around the world, ensuring illnesses are correctly diagnosed and the best treatment is determined".

There....case closed.
