Fiber Cable Overview
Fiber Optics and Fiber Optic Cable are the core technologies at the heart of the equipment.
The Telecast device features the ability to multiplex and de-multiplex a variety of video,
audio and data signals so that they can be carried over a thin strand of Fiber Optic cable for
long distances. The specific theory and operation of Fiber Optics is beyond the scope of
this document.
