Definitions for "Fiber-Optic"
of or relating to fiber optics
Glass or plastic fibers which allow the transmission of light impulses used to transmit voice, video, and computer data. Fiber-optics can carry much more information than traditional copper wires (used in analogue transmission) and are immune to electrical or radio interference. Fiber-optics are installed in cables, which is a difficult and expensive format to install.
A method of transmitting data using a laser via optical fibers made of glass. Very effective for high speed networks.
