Copper vs. Fiber Modern telecommunication networks rely primarily on two types of cable. Older copper cables have been replaced in many cases by fiber optic "light pipes‚" first in undersea cables and major intercity trunks‚ and later directly to many homes and businesses. Principles Copper cables carry information as an electrical signal‚ which may be digital‚ as in phone lines‚ or analogue‚ as in audio speaker cable. In optical fibers‚ however‚ data is carried digitally by light from a laser

A textile fibre is usually defined as a flexible‚ macroscopically homogenous cylindrical body mainly with circular cross- section having a high ratio of length to diameter (typically 100-3000: 1). Textile fibres are derived both from natural and synthetic origins. Natural fibres such as cotton‚ wool etc. are often found with lengths 1000-3000 times their diameter. On the other hand coarser natural fibres such as jute‚ flax‚ ramie‚ etc. have lengths 100- 500 times their diameter. However man-made fibres
