What is fiber optic communication?
Electrical signals from a device are converted into light pulses. Light pulses enter the core of the optical fiber and are reflected along the fiber by the cladding through total internal reflection. At

Fiber optic communication refers to a method of transmitting data that utilizes light instead of electrical signals to send information through optical fibers. The diagram above shows how electronic input signals get transformed into light pulses, travel through a fiber optic cable, and are converted back into.
