Abstract :
The cable industry has been relatively slow to adopt optical fiber as a major element of its networks. This arises in part because coaxial cable has suited cable´s needs relatively well. Also, cable´s basic task of delivering scores of video signals has posed some difficult economic and technical challenges for fiber technology. Fiber optic transmission offers the promise of significant benefit to the cable industry and it is important that one explores this potential and its relationship to consumer electronics issues.<>
