Bell labs has managed to break the Petabit barrier, they have achieved a speed of 15.5 Tbit/s over a single 7000 km fiber. Now one must keep in mind this was multiplexed over hundreds of channels and was a single mode cable.

The maximum realistic speed application on single mode fiber cable is about 10gb speed. There are standards for 100 gigabit over multimode fiber and single mode, but those are not widely in use at the moment.

The speed is the same as with any cable: the signals travel at about 2/3 the speed of light.

However, what is popularly called "speed" quite often refers to the bandwidth - how much data can be transferred per second. Fiber optic can transfer data at 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 10 Gbps, and 40 Gbps; experiments are currently underway to reach even higher bandwidths, but I believe this hasn't been standardized yet. So far, it seems that much higher bandwidths can be achieved.

Humans have not found the maximum data transmission rate in a fiber optic cable. It is completely dependent on the equipment connected at either end.

What is the difference between a fiber optic cable and a regular cable?

Fiber optic cables utilize glass or plastic fibers instead of metal wires to transmit data. A fiber optic cable allows for a higher rate of the transmission of data, which is good for things like the internet.

Which cable type has a glass or plastic core?

Fiber optic cable has a glass or plastic core that carries light signals for high-speed data transmission over long distances.


Will water pass through the core of a fiber optic cable?

No, water will not pass through the core of a fiber optic cable. The core is designed to carry light signals for data transmission, and any water infiltration could disrupt the signal transmission process and damage the cable.


Does a fiber optic cable allow two way data transmission?

A network optical cable will have (with multi-mode anyway) two connection, one for transmission and one for receiving (TX/RX) data. So over one fiber? No, transmission or receiving only. Over an actual fiber network cable which is a bound pair? Yes.

What cable has the highest data transmission rate?

I don't know much about this answer however I think the fastest data transfer cables are currently: USB 3.0 (Windows) Thunderbolt (Mac) *Not sure of what products have been designed with USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt. I do know that some Windows computers and storage devices do have USB 3.0 and the NEW MacBook Air does have Thunderbolt. PLEASE UPDATE WITH MORE SPECIFIED ANSWERS AND DETAILS.
