Kabel serat optik adalah saluran transmisi yang menggunakan cahaya sebagai konduktornya, dengan keunggulan inti seperti kecepatan tinggi (mendekati kecepatan cahaya), bandwidth besar (mendukung transmisi data tingkat TB), dan anti-interferensi yang kuat (tidak terpengaruh oleh medan elektromagnetik). Fungsi intinya meliputi: 1. Komunikasi-berkecepatan tinggi (latensi<1ms), suitable for real-time scenarios such as financial transactions and telemedicine; 2. Big data processing (single fiber capacity up to 100Tbps), supporting cloud computing and edge computing needs; 3. Long-distance transmission (80-100km without repeaters), ensuring high-quality cross-border communication. In home scenarios, Fiber to the Home (FTTH) technology can provide gigabit-level bandwidth (1Gbps+), perfectly supporting high-bandwidth applications such as 4K/8K video and cloud gaming. In the future, with the development of 5G and the Internet of Things, ultra-low-loss fiber (attenuation ≤0.15dB/km) will become the data artery for smart cities and autonomous driving.
