'''Fiber optics''' are a physical [[medium]] that uses glass or plastic threads to transmit light. A fiber optic cable consists of a bundle of these threads, each capable of transmitting electric signals into [[light waves]].<ref>[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/fiber%20optics Dictionary.com | Fiber optics]</ref>
Due to the makeup of fiber optic cables being able to refract light, information is sent quicker than the predecessing copper cables.
