fibreoptic
Light through threads
Fibreoptic describes technology that transmits light through thin glass or plastic fibres: fibreoptic cables, fibreoptic internet.
The fibres carry data as pulses of light, enabling high-speed communication.
Also spelled fiber-optic (American) or fibre-optic.
The building was wired with fibreoptic connections.
