Why and where is fiber-optic transmission used?

Answers

Top answer

Fiber-optic transmission is recommended for places where the electromagnetic force is higher and for longer distances.

Some of the advantages that the fiber-optics offers over the copper cablings are:

  • The cable lengths can be longer, enabling higher distance communication
  • Since there is no electricity, they provide complete electrical isolation
  • They eliminate the possible ground loops that come with the power cables

However, it is worth mentioning that fiber optics are more expensive than copper cables.
