Today we get a lesson from Peter on the fiber lines for data transmission, work performed by installers/technicians, specialized tools for this work. Splicing glass fibers is especially interesting and we get to see a live demonstration of the welding of a fiber optic line.

I ask many questions to tie back the discussion to some other topics understood by electronics engineers and networking folks.

Hope you can learn a lot from this video!
