Fiber in CATV (Cable Television)
The use of fiber optic cables in the transmission of cable signals has grown explosively over the years. CATV (cable television) services are supplied via a fiber optic network to an optical node, which converts and distributes the electrical signal to subscribers via a coaxial cable connection.
Simply, fiber optics is the sending and receiving of data from point-to-point via a network. Cable television companies commonly use fiber for delivery of digital video and data services.
These fiber cables are the perfect choices for transmitting broadband signals for high definition televisions, because they have greater bandwidth and speed. Also, fiber optic cables are cheaper as compared to the same quantity of copper wire.
