They don't; they simply bounce it again and again down the shiny insides of the long, thin glass fibres they are made from.

Explanation:
The light in a fiber-optic cable travels through the core (hallway) by constantly bouncing from the cladding (mirror-lined walls), a principle called total internal reflection. Because the cladding does not absorb any light from the core, the light wave can travel great distances.
