a basic cable system works as follows information is received via satellite from the information providers also known as a channel in what is known as a head end where they process the signal and insert it into qualms which leave the head end on fiber optic cable by laser till it gets to the neighborhood or neighborhoods where there are subscribers. the fiber optics then hit what is called a node. at the node a fiber optical receiver changes it from light into db which is then sent out on distribution style coaxial cable usually a plastic based coating quantum reach style cable or qr cable. it then hits an amplifier where it is jumped up to about 40 db give or take as it travels down the street. where there is a house there is a tap in the qr cable, which is where the coaxial cable people are most familiar with starts

What is the fastest channel of data transmission it is coaxial cable or optical fiber cable or another?
the fastest way to transmit data is certainly not coax it is fiber optics u can run city blocks of cable, on one hair size thread of fiber optic hope this is helpful. p.s when transmitting data through coax it takes Amplifiers and A.C. to boost the R>F signal about every three to four city blocks while fiber optics has no A.C and as i said a hair siZe thread can run city blocks
What are fiber optic termination boxes?
Fiber optic terminal box generally refer to the box shape fiber optic management products used to protect and distribute the optical fiber links in FTTH Networks. Usually the fiber optic box includes the fiber optical patch panels and fiber optic terminal box. Fiber optic patch panel is bigger size, fiber optic termination box is smaller. Actually there are too many fiber optic boxes and fiber management devices, they are hard to count the types, many manufacturers will make the fiber optic boxes according to their own design and they may give the fiber optic boxes different names and model numbers.
What is definition of elongation at break in fiber optic cable?
It means how far you can stretch it before it breaks and when it loses it's transmission /mechanical properties. The result is called breaking strength and is expressed in DaN (DecaNewtons) Hope this helps. It is not just for fibre optic cables but for all cables. I worked 15 years for a cable c°.
What is dark fibers?
In fiber optic communcations Dark Fiber or Unlit Fibers refers Unused fibers, available for use

What are the major classes of guided media?
twisted pair cable, coaxial cable, and fiber optic cable
What cables have typically been used in cable plants?
fiber optic, coaxial, and twisted-pair
What is a hard drive connected to the motherboard by?
fiber optic cable
Modern networks primarily uses three types of media to interconnect devices?
The three types of network media are: Twisted-pair copper cable, fiber-optic cable, and coaxial cable.
What is the fios cable used for?
The FiOS cable is used to deliver fiber optic cable to residents. Most traditional cable companies deliver cable through coaxial cables, FiOS uses fiber optic cables to get the same product to consumers without the hassle.
What are the disadvantages of using coaxial cable?
scattering, costs high than wireless communication, difficult to maintain,splicing should be perfectly taken care ,otherwise the loses increases in the optic fibres
What is the error rate of coaxial cable?
The bit error rate is a standard transmission-error rate of a medium such as copper wire, coaxial cable, or fiber-optic cable. Coaxial cables have a low error rate that is generally 1 in 1 billion bps.
Rank the following five media examples-twisted pair coaxial cable fiber-optic cable microwave and satellite-in order from highest data transmission speed to lowest data transmission speed?
rank the following from highest to lowest in data transmission speed twisted pair, coaxial cable, fiber-optic, microwave, and satellite
The type of cable made of glass or plastic?
Fiber-optic cable.
What is the difference between a toslink fiber optic audio cable and a fiber optic digital interconnect cable?
A Toslink IS a Fiber Optic Digital Interconnect cable
What are transmittion media?
Hi, Transmission media means transfer the data from one place to another place. eg. Twisted pair cable, coaxial cable and fiber optic cable.
Is Fiber-optic cable easier to install and modify than a twisted pair or coaxial?
No. And if it breaks it requires special equipment to Polish and splice the ends.
