 INTRODUCTION
An optical fiber or optical fibre is a flexible, transparent
fiber made by drawing glass (silica) or plastic to a
.diameter slightly thicker than that of a human hair
A fiber-optic system is similar to the copper wire system.
The difference is that fiber-optics use light pulses to
transmit information through fiber lines instead of using
.electronic pulses
