Never. There are plastic and glass fibers used for data transfer and lighting (glass is more expensive but better transmission). No plasma is required to pass their energy. Internal total reflection keeps the light within the fibers bouncing it off the internal walls..

No, fiber optics are made up of plastic like substance that transfers light from one place to another. no plasma involved
