This document provides an overview of fibre optics, including its composition, operation, advantages, disadvantages, types of communication, cable types, pulse spreading, transmission loss, and conclusions. Fibre optics uses glass or plastic filaments to transmit light signals for communication. It has advantages over metal cables like greater bandwidth, less signal degradation, lighter weight, and security. Installation is more expensive than metal cables. Fibre optics enables both analog and digital communication and comes in step index or graded index cable types.
