Hide Electric power transmission

Optical fiber can be used to transmit electricity.[51] While the efficiency is 
not nearly that of traditional copper wire, it is especially useful in 
situations where it is desirable to not have a metallic conductor as in the 
case of use near MRI machines which produce strong magnetic currents.[52]
