Fiber optic cables use light to transmit data, whereas traditional cables rely on electrical signals, which are more prone to interference and loss over distance. The difference between wire and cable In fact, there is no strict boundary between "wire" and "cable". Generally, the products with a small number of cores, small product diameter and simple structure are called wires, those without insulation are called bare wires, and others are called cables. Fiber Optic Cable: A significant departure from traditional electrical wires, a fiber optic cable transmits information as pulses of light through thin strands of glass or plastic (optical fibers). The term wires and cables are used pretty much used synonymously, but they are quite different in fact.
