What Wikipedia says

A fiber-optic cable, also known as an optical-fiber cable, is an assembly that contains one or more optical fibers, glass or polymer, that carry light, with construction similar to an electrical cable. Individual optical fibers are typically coated with various polymer layers and ultimately enclosed by an outer jacket.
