It is light in weight.
It is smaller in size and is flexible, so that it can bend to
any position.
It is nonconductive, non-radiative and non-inductive.
It has high bandwidth and low loss.
There is no short circuiting as in metal wires.
There is no internal noise/cross talks.
It can withstand to any range of temperature and moisture
condition.
There is no need to ground and hence no voltage problem
occurs.

History
Guiding of light by refraction, the
principle that makes fiber optics possible,
was first demonstrated by Daniel Colladon
and Jacques Babinet in Paris in the early
1840s.

Fiber Composition
1) the core
2) the cladding
3) the sheath (jacket or coating).
The core and cladding act as an optical wave-guide.
In optical fiber the refractive index of core is
slightly higher than the refractive index of cladding.
Core - it is a transmission area of fiber.
- typical core diameters range from 8 to 10 m
Cladding - it surrounds the core and has a different
index of refraction than the core.
- it defines the optical boundary of the core and
makes sure that total internal reflection occurs at
the core outer skin.
