Fiber

Fiber-optic cable, made of glass fibers instead of copper strands. Data, expressed aspulses of light rather than electrons, is transmitted by lasers or other devices. Optical fiber can carry billions of bits a second, many times more than coaxial or copper wire, and is less sensitive to electrical interference.
