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.
