Do you know the difference between cable and fiber optic cable?

1. The difference in material: the cable uses metal material (mostly copper and aluminum) as the conductor; the optical cable uses glass fiber as the conductor.

2. The difference between transmitted signals: electric signals are transmitted by cables; optical signals are transmitted by optical cables.

3. Difference in application range: cables are mostly used for energy transmission and low-end data information transmission (such as telephone); optical cables are mostly used for data transmission.

Therefore, the working principle, structure, material, transmission signal and application range of the cable and the optical cable are different, but they have their own advantages and play an important role in their respective fields.
