Optical fiber can be used as a medium for telecommunication because it is flexible and can be
bundled as cables. It is especially advantageous for longdistance communications because light
propagates through the fiber with little attenuation compared to electrical cables. This allows long
distances to be spanned with few repeaters. Additionally, the per-channel light signals propagating in
the fiber have been modulated at rates as high as 111 gigabits per second by NTT, although 10 or 40
Gb/s is typical in deployed systems.
