With modern development, communication have become an important part of human life and cannot be dispensed with, the communication process involves information generation, transmission, reception and interpretation. Wide bandwidth for signal transmission with low delay is a key requirement in present day applications. Fiber optics is now the transmission medium of data for long distance and it has high data rate transmission for Telecommunication networks. This paper gives an overview of fiber optic communication systems including the concept of wire communication, characteristic, architecture, optical fiber system (link budget design) and application of fiber optic.
