Other fibre-optic cables and lenses yield correspondingly different minimum operating temperatures.

To help expand the network from there, Mr Bichara said North Korea was laying fibre-optic cables in the provinces.

This ambitious, continent-spanning network of fibre-optic cables will cost tens of billions of dollars.

But Virgin's network is limited and fibre-optic cables are expensive.

When Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet is used, the same transmission speeds are realised on copper and fibre optic cables.

Replacing copper wires with fibre-optic cables, for example, is hugely expensive, and many firms in Europe have been dragging their heels.

Cutting the fibre-optic cables that connect a country to the world, for example, might seem easy.
