The optical fibre elements are typically individually coated with plastic layers and contained in a protective tube suitable for the environment where the cable will be deployed.

Fibre Optic Network cables are used for networks that span large distances. As a result, this type of cabling has several layers of protective coating. It also transmits light as opposed to electrical signals like other cables. This makes it an ideal cable for network environments that are exposed to large amounts of electrical interference.

Fibre Optic Cabling also transmits information at high speeds and is therefore used in large network environments like those used by big businesses.

Fibre Optic Cabling has several advantages over traditional cabling communications lines:

* Fibre Optic Cables have a much greater bandwidth than Copper Cables.

* Fibre Optic Cables are less susceptible than Copper cables to interference.

* Fibre Optic Cables are much thinner and lighter than Copper wires.

* Data can be transmitted digitally (natural form for computer data).

Once the basic fibre optic infrastructure is in place, it can be rearranged and the end point electronics upgraded when necessary, to deliver even higher capacity. It can do this far more effectively than existing wireless or copper based systems.
