Fiber-optic cable

A fiber-optic cable is a cable that uses optical fibers to carry data. "Fiber-optic cables ... carry signals at speeds that are only about 31% slower than the speed of light, [and that is] faster than ... copper cables", according to media.https://www.eaton.com/us/en-us/products/data-video-cables-accessories/fiber-network-cables/7-advantages-of-fiber-optic-cables-over-copper-cables.html.
