Thin fibres of glass, silicon or plastic that form the basis of
a data transmission infrastructure. A fibre optic cable
contains various individual fibres, each capable of carrying
a signal (light impulses) over a virtually limitless band
length. They are usually used for long distance
transmissions, for the transmission of "heavy data" so that
the signal arrives protected from interference which it might
encounter along its own path. A fibre optic cable’s carrying
capacity is considerably greater than that of traditional
cables and copper wire twisted pairs.

using for a long period the grantor’s fibre optic network.
ISDN
Acronym for Integrated Service Digital Network, a

transmission line.

organisations.
Leased lines
