Since its development back in the 1970s, fiber optic communication has played a 
significant role in the evolution of the telecommunications industry by changing the way in which data is transmitted. In simple terms, fiber optics entails sending light pulses through an optical fiber with the aid of fiber transmitters. Fiber optics have proven to be much more effective than old-fashioned copper wiring when it comes to the clear and fast transmission of data.
