    Does the fiber optic cable from the telecommunications company contain copper

    Contrary to popular belief, fiber optic cables do not contain copper. Instead, they consist primarily of glass or plastic fibers that transmit data using light signals. These fibers are surrounded by protective coatings made of materials such as polymer or epoxy resin. This guides optical signals via total internal reflection without conductive elements. While most fiber optic cable itself doesn't contain copper, some variations, particularly those used for specific applications like hybrid cables or older installations, may incorporate copper for power or control signals.
