About Fiber Optic Cables Market

Fiber optic cable is a network cable with an insulated casing that contains one or more strands of glass fibers. It is designed to carry communication signals or data in the form of light pulses generated from LEDs or injection-laser diode. Light moves through the cable because of a phenomenon called total internal reflection. These cables are primarily used in end-user industries such as oil and gas, mining, telecommunication, and data centers. Growing investments in data centers by global CSPs managed hosting service vendors, and telecommunication organizations are expected to drive the demand for fiber optic cables.
