1.   And since these cables transmit electricity as well, or better, than copper, they eventually may replace the wires that carry electrical power across the United States.

2.   But in the early days, at least, there will be no way to receive any high-definition programming transmitted by cable.

3.   Digital cable transmits digitized signals through the wires, which take up less bandwidth and provide better picture quality.

4.   Fiber cable transmits large amounts of sound data and video at rapid speeds with a greater amount of clarity than analog lines.

5.   Fiber optic cables transmit data as pulses of laser light.

6.   Standard cable transmits analog signals through its wires.

7.   That capacity allows cable to rapidly transmit complex multimedia images and photographs, which have become a big attraction with the growth of the World Wide Web.

8.   This cable transmitted crucial military information between Washington, D.C. and American forces in France during World War I.

9.   A fiber optical cable can transmit much more data than conventional copper cables.
