Unit 7.Exercise 1. Fiber Optics--Definitions Cross Talk- Fiber-optic cabling is immune to crosstalk because optical fiber does not conduct electricity and uses light signals in a glass fiber, rather than electrical signals along a metallic conductor, to transmit data. So it cannot produce a magnetic field and thus is immune to EMI. Waveguides- A structure that guides electro-magnetic waves along their length. The core fiber in an optical fiber cable is an optical waveguide FTTH- Fiber to the
