Cable Quote by Jefferson Han
“In fiber optics, the cable is a light pipe or waveguide, into which you inject light. If a finger presses on the pipe, it disrupts that light within the waveguide.”
About This Quote
Source Technical Lecture: Optics Symposium, 2012
Fiber optics guide light like a pipe; any pressure distorts the signal.
In simple terms: Light travels in fibers; pressure disrupts it.
