Glass fibers that transmit binary signals over a telecommunications network. Scope Notes: Fiber-optic systems have low transmission losses as compared to twisted-pair cables. They do not radiate energ [..]

Physical medium capable of conducting modulated light transmission. Compared with other transmission media, fiber-optic cable is more expensive, but is not susceptible to electromagnetic interference and is capable of higher data rates. Sometimes called optical fiber.

Dictionary of Computer and Internet Terms This is a cable made up of super-thin filaments of glass or other transparent materials that can carry beams of light. Using a laser transmitter that encodes frequency signals into pulses of light, data can be sent through through these cables at the speed of light. The receiving end of the transmission tra [..]

Glass fiber used for laser transmission of video, audio, and/or data. Fiber-optic cable has a much greater bandwidth capacity than conventional cable or copper wire.

A cable that carries laser light, encoded with digital signals, rather than electrical energy. Made of thin fibers of glass, fiber-optic cables can transmit large amounts of data per second. Fiber-opt [..]

One of the video transmission ways, being used for a long distance transmission up to miles.
