Fiber optic cable affected by electrical signals

Home / Fiber optic cable affected by electrical signals

Unlike copper cables, which transmit data using electrical signals and can be affected by electromagnetic interference (EMI), fiber optic cables transmit data using light signals. This article explains what EMI is, how it occurs, and effective mitigation strategies like shielding, grounding, and filtering.
