1. One of the delicate, threadlike portions of which the
tissues of plants and animals are in part constituted; as,
the fiber of flax or of muscle.
[1913 Webster]

fiber of spun glass; especially, one of the slender
rootlets of a plant. [WordNet sense 1]
[1913 Webster]
3. the inherent complex of attributes that determine a
person's moral and ethical actions and reactions; sinew;

4. A general name for the raw material, such as cotton, flax,
hemp, etc., used in textile manufactures.

5. (Nutrition) that portion of food composed of carbohydrates
which are completely or partly indigestible, such as
cellulose or pectin; it may be in an insoluble or a
soluble form. It provides bulk to the solid waste and
stimulates peristalsis in the intestine. It is found
especially in grains, fruits, and vegetables. There is
some medical evidence which indicates that diets high in
fiber reduce the risk of colon cancer and reduce
cholesterol levels in the blood. It is also called
dietary fiber, roughage, or bulk.

fibre channel
(foldoc) | Fibre Channel
An ANSI standard
originally intended for high-speed SANs connecting
servers, disc arrays, and backup devices, also later
adapted to form the physical layer of Gigabit Ethernet.
Development work on Fibre channel started in 1988 and it was
approved by the ANSI standards committee in 1994, running at
100Mb/s. More recent innovations have seen the speed of Fibre
Channel SANs increase to 10Gb/s. Several topologies are
possible with Fibre Channel, the most popular being a number
of devices attached to one (or two, for redundancy) central
Fibre Channel switches, creating a reliable infrastructure
that allows servers to share storage arrays or tape libraries.
One common use of Fibre Channel SANs is for high availability
databaseq clusters where two servers are connected to one
highly reliable RAID array. Should one server fail, the
other server can mount the array itself and continue
operations with minimal downtime and loss of data.
Other advanced features include the ability to have servers
and hard drives seperated by hundreds of miles or to rapidly
mirror data between servers and hard drives, perhaps in
seperate geographic locations.

fibre channel-arbitrated loop
(foldoc) | Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop
(FC-AL) A fast serial bus interface
standard intended to replace SCSI on high-end servers.
FC-AL has a number of advantages over SCSI. It offers higher
speed: the base speed is 100 megabytes per second, with 200,
400, and 800 planned. Many devices are dual ported, i.e., can
be accessed through two independent ports, which doubles speed
and increases fault tolerance. Cables can be as long as 30 m
(coaxial) or 10 km (optical). FC-AL enables
self-configuring and hot swapping and the maximum number
of devices on a single port is 126. Finally, it provides
software compatibility with SCSI.
Despite all these features FC-AL is unlikely to appear on
desktops anytime soon, partly because its price, partly
because typical desktop computers would not take advantage
of many of the advanced features. On these systems FireWire
has more potential.

fibre optics
light pipe
optical fiber
(fibre optics, FO, US "fiber", light pipe) A
plastic or glass (silicon dioxide) fibre no thicker than a
human hair used to transmit information using infra-red or
even visible light as the carrier (usually a laser). The
light beam is an electromagnetic signal with a frequency in
the range of 10^14 to 10^15 Hertz.
Optical fibre is less susceptible to external noise than other
transmission media, and is cheaper to make than copper wire,
but it is much more difficult to connect. Optical fibres are
difficult to tamper with (to monitor or inject data in the
middle of a connection), making them appropriate for secure
communications. The light beams do not escape from the medium
because the material used provides total internal reflection.
AT&T Bell Laboratories in the United States managed to
send information at a rate of 420 megabits per second, over
161.5 km through an optical fibre cable. In Japan, 445.8
megabits per second was achieved over a shorter distance. At
this rate, the entire text of the Encyclopedia Britannica
could be transmitted in one second. Currently, AT&T is
working on a world network to support high volume data
transmission, international computer networking, {electronic
mail} and voice communications (a single fibre can transmit
200 million telephone conversations simultaneously).
