What is fiber optic?
Fiber optics is a technology that uses glass or plastic threads (optical fibers) to transmit data. Light travels through these fibers, carrying information over long distances with minimal signal loss. It's commonly used in telecommunications, internet infrastructure, and medical imaging due to its high bandwidth and low latency.
