"The fiber optic cable is made of pure glass drawn into a very thin
strand, with a thickness comparable to that of a human hair but can
transmit digitalised data through light pulses in milliseconds and in
very high capacity, allowing more information to be transmitted. One
such strand of optical fibre is capable of transmitting 25,000
gigabytes per second of information, which is about three million books
per a second.&quot;<br><br>Is it possible to do 25 TBytes per second in one fibre? or 200 Tbits per second?
