Q: How is data physically transferred across a fiber-optic cable?
A: Data is converted into light signals that travel through the core of the cable.
The core is surrounded by cladding with a lower refractive index, which
reflects light back into the core (Total Internal Reflection), allowing it to travel
long distances.
