fiberoptic
Light-carrying cable type
Fiberoptic describes technology that transmits light through thin, flexible glass or plastic fibers.
Fiberoptic cables carry data as pulses of light, enabling high-speed internet and telecommunications: The building was wired with fiberoptic.
In medicine, fiberoptic scopes allow viewing inside the body.
Also spelled fiber-optic or fibre-optic.
