fibre optics tranfer data through total internal reflection so the data loss in negligable as comparied to metal wires available in the market.So the main use of optical fibre is "the optical fibre cables"

but there are other uses as well..

  1. It can be use as censors.
  2. It can also be used to transmit power using 'Photo voltiac cell'.
  3. It is used in most HD-televisions as digital audio optical connection.
  4. It can be used as Fuse.
