Fibre optics is a technology, which allows the passage of light pulses through a thin glass or plastic cable. The light doesn`t escape through the sides as it is reflected back. This means the cables can carry light over large distances without losing energy. They are often used in interior decoration and to carry digital data.

Fibre Optics is a technology using light as a digital information bearer. Fibre optic cables ( light guides ) are a direct replacement for conventional wire, coaxial cable and many forms of radio, including microwave. Fibre optic lines actually cost less, occupy less space and provided far more transmission capacity than earlier methods, while prov...
