What is Fiber Optics?

Fiber optics is the technology used to transmit information as pulses of light through strands of fiber made of glass or plastic over long distances.



Optical fibers are about the diameter of a strand of human hair and when bundled into a fiber-optic cable, they’re capable of transmitting more data over longer distances and faster than other mediums. It is this technology that provides homes and businesses with fiber-optic internet, phone and TV services.
