Fiber optic lines can be connected underground or along existing telephone poles, aerially. Fiber optic cables are less expensive, weigh less, and are easier to maintain than standard cable lines. Unlike metal cables, fiber optic cables are made from glass which is not susceptible to electromagnetic interference. Flowing over long distances without degradation, fiber optic cables use light instead of electricity to transmit data. The frequencies are higher; therefore, the data capacity is greater. As more and more of our world depends on a constant and seamless internet connection, Fiber to the Home meets the broadband demand of today’s residents.
