No, fiber optic cables do not conduct electricity. Instead, they transmit light signals. Electricity flows through metal wires as the movement of electrons. On the other hand, optical fibers guide light through glass or plastic strands, and it does not require electrons. Optical fibers or fiber cables can be used for transmitting optical power from a source to some application. That conversion can be done with a photovoltaic cell. While the transmission medium itself – the fiber optic cable – does not require electricity to carry light signals, the infrastructure and devices that make the internet connection functional absolutely do. This is a crucial distinction that often leads to confusion. There are two types of these cables, OPGW (optical power ground wire) and OPPC (Optical power phase conductor) cables.
