- PhasmaFelis 12y agoI assume they're talking about fiber optics, or something similar. An optical fiber "wire" made of silica or plastic carries photons the way copper carries electrons. Most telecom trunks use them these days. The only thing is that I've never heard of fiber optics being used inside a machine, only to connect one machine to another. I imagine the principles are similar, though.
