OPTICALFIBER
Optical fiber
An optical fiber is a flexible, transparent fiber made of high quality extruded glass or plastic, slightly thicker than a human hair. It can function as a waveguide, or “light pipe”, to transmit light between the two ends of the fiber. The field of applied science and engineering concerned with the design and application of optical fibers is known as fiber optics. Optical fibers are widely used in fiber-optic communications, which permits transmission over longer distances and at higher bandwidths than other forms of communication. Fibers are used instead of metal wires because signals travel along them with less loss and are also immune to ...The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Optical fiber
