The Future of Fiber Optics on the Internet Over the Centuries, the science of communication has evolved in such degrees that normal means of communicating are no longer feasible. Communicating has risen in forms of data, video and voice transmission to such speeds that normal coaxial cables could no longer handle the huge amounts of information that were passed through them. Fiber Optics uses light instead of electronic pulses to deliver their information at many times faster speeds than coaxial. A fiber optic cable is made of several layered components: an inner core, a cladding, and an outer sheath. It is a medium in which communication signals or pulses
