strands of glass fibers inside an insulated casing.
• They're designed for long-distance, high-
performance data networking, and
telecommunications.
• Compared to wired cables, fiber optic cables
provide higher bandwidth and transmit data over
longer distances.
• Fiber optic cables support much of the world's
internet, cable television, and telephone systems.
Commonly Known as Cat6 cable connected
with RJ45 Connector

Personal Area Network (PAN)
• A personal area network (PAN) connects
devices within a user's immediate area.

• The size of a PAN ranges from a few


centimeters to a few meters.
