Many people have typically, and incorrectly, thought that fiber optic technology is future proof. However, new study shows that fiber optics technology is rapidly approaching its theoretical limits and may require a radical redesign. A recent study shows that the current data transmission is 50% higher than the normal capacity of these cables.
