1. The Advantages of Fiber Optic Cable Over Copper Wire Cable

2. A fiber optic cable is a cable constructed of glass or plastic fibers that are the diameter of a human hair, inside an insulated casing.
It is designed for long distances, very high performance data networking and telecommunications.
It is the ideal choice for new telecommunication networks and is especially suitable for long distance lines.
The following are some advantages of a fiber optic cable over traditional copper cables:

3. It has higher capacity.
A fiber optic cable’s capacity to carry the amount of network bandwidth easily exceeds that of a copper cable with similar thickness.

4. It is less expensive.
A fiber optic cable can be made for much less money than an equivalent length of copper wire. Therefore, it saves money.

5. It is thinner.
It can be drawn to smaller diameters than a traditional copper wire.

6. It has higher carrying capacity.
Since this cable is thinner than a copper wire, more fibers can be added into a given-diameter cable. This will allow more phone lines or more channels to go over the same cable or come through the cable into the cable TV box.

7. It is non-flammable.
No electricity passes through a fiber optic cable so there is no fire hazard.

8. It lessens the need for signal boosters.
Light can travel much longer distances down a fiber cable. Therefore, it lessens the need for signal boosters.
