Fiber is also used to replace copper cable for LAN backbones. An optical fiber is constructed of a transparent core made of nearly pure silicon dioxide (SiO2), through which the light travels.

Fiber-optic subsea cables ― where bundled strands of optical fibers are laid across the seabed ― transmit roughly 99 percent of all data across the globe. They make it possible to have online ...
