Bell labs has managed to break the Petabit barrier, they have achieved a speed of 15.5 Tbit/s over a single 7000 km fiber. Now one must keep in mind this was multiplexed over hundreds of channels and was a single mode cable.
The maximum realistic speed application on single mode fiber cable is about 10gb speed. There are standards for 100 gigabit over multimode fiber and single mode, but those are not widely in use at the moment.

∙ 14y agoThe speed is the same as with any cable: the signals travel at about 2/3 the speed of light.
However, what is popularly called "speed" quite often refers to the bandwidth - how much data can be transferred per second. Fiber optic can transfer data at 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 10 Gbps, and 40 Gbps; experiments are currently underway to reach even higher bandwidths, but I believe this hasn't been standardized yet. So far, it seems that much higher bandwidths can be achieved.

What is the difference between a fiber optic cable and a regular cable?
Fiber optic cables utilize glass or plastic fibers instead of metal wires to transmit data. A fiber optic cable allows for a higher rate of the transmission of data, which is good for things like the internet.
Rank the following five media examples-twisted pair coaxial cable fiber-optic cable microwave and satellite-in order from highest data transmission speed to lowest data transmission speed?
rank the following from highest to lowest in data transmission speed twisted pair, coaxial cable, fiber-optic, microwave, and satellite
Does a fiber optic cable allow two way data transmission?
A network optical cable will have (with multi-mode anyway) two connection, one for transmission and one for receiving (TX/RX) data. So over one fiber? No, transmission or receiving only. Over an actual fiber network cable which is a bound pair? Yes.
You are experiencing data transfer problems on your fiber optic cable Which tool can you use to troubleshoot your fiber optic cable?
An OTDR will help to find flaws in the fiber and it's connections.
What are transmittion media?
Hi, Transmission media means transfer the data from one place to another place. eg. Twisted pair cable, coaxial cable and fiber optic cable.
What cable has the highest data transmission rate?
I don't know much about this answer however I think the fastest data transfer cables are currently: USB 3.0 (Windows) Thunderbolt (Mac) *Not sure of what products have been designed with USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt. I do know that some Windows computers and storage devices do have USB 3.0 and the NEW MacBook Air does have Thunderbolt. PLEASE UPDATE WITH MORE SPECIFIED ANSWERS AND DETAILS.
Which kind of cabling does FDDI use?
That is fiber optic cable, as FDDI stands for Fiber Distributed Data Interface
Which Ethernet types use fiber optic cabling for data transmission?
10GBaseSR 10GBaseLR
What are the principles of optical fiber cable?
Fiber Optic Cable is a thin glass cable in which data is transferred over via laser(s) that are shined through the glass media.
What do Fiber optic cables transmit data through?
Fiber optic cables transfer data signals in the form of light and it is faster than traditional electric cables. It is very helpful in good and speedy communication, network and broadcasting services. We provide high quality tactical fiber optic reel, fiber cable assemblies, OEM cable assemblies, custom cable assemblies and power cords to different companies.

Which media is used to carry electrical pulses that represent digital data?
Fiber optic cable
What protocols is used for sending digital data over fiber optic cables?
Fiber optic cables are nothing but another transmission medium. All the protocol which works on Ethernet cable will work in Fiber optic cable also. In case of Ethernet, the digital data will be sent in electrical signal format. But Fiber Optic cables are passive devices. They can not conduct electrical signals. So the digital data signals needs to be converted to Optical signal before sending that via fiber. Usually after the conversion process, the header will be added. This header will be added by the originating device of the optical signal and will be removed by the receiving optical device before sending that signal via Ethernet or some other transmission medium..
