Light moves through a fiber optic cable by bouncing off the cable repeatedly. With continued internal mirror-like reflection, each light particle (photon) bounces down the pipe.

The light beam passes down the center of the cable. The cable and the glass framework are an integral part of the fiber. Another layer of glass wrapped around is the cladding, to keep the light signals within the fiber optic cable.

Types of Fiber Optic Connections

FTTH: Fiber to the premises, house, business. No copper cables are involved, you get pure fiber directly to your home. These are also some ISPs with the most costly fiber connections.

FTTB: The fiber line is transmitted through copper lines in the building with fibre to the building. For apartment buildings, hotels, schools or buildings that provide many different companies with the Internet, this is a common option.

FTTO: These are internet leased lines where your internet service provider will pass a direct and dedicated internet line to your office. These are highly secure and reliable internet services for businesses.
