 Bagian 3
Reading

Bagian ini berbeda dari tahun sebelumnya, teksnya pendek hanya 1 –

Fiber optic cables are widely used in modern communication systems because they can
transmit data at incredibly high speeds over long distances. These cables are made of thin
strands of glass or plastic that carry light signals instead of electrical ones. Unlike traditional

higher bandwidth, making them ideal for internet, television, and telephone services.

In recent years, many companies and governments have invested in upgrading infrastructure
with fiber optic networks. The installation cost may be high initially, but the long-term
