Optical fibers are highly efficient, with a much lower attenuation rate compared to traditional copper cables. This means that they can transmit information over very long distances without the need for as many signal boosters or repeaters, reducing energy consumption and.

In 1880, Alexander Graham Bell conducted an experiment where he made a phone call using natural light (sunlight) to convert his voice into light via a "photophone. away, converted back to voice for the recipient to hear, and is now believed to be. It works on the principle of total internal reflection, allowing light to move through the fiber with very little loss.
