770 apply to optical fiber cables and raceways. Although optical fiber isn't always the best or most economical choice, it is becoming quite popular in applications that involve data or voice transmission through physical infrastructure. Fiber is now showing up in “home runs” for voice, data transfer, process control, and machine control. Further adding to the popularity of optical fiber is its immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Chief among those is the growth of high-tech applications that require the massive bandwidth fiber-optic cabling makes possible. Several factors are driving the popularity of optical fiber cabling.
