Why should you choose Fiber?
Better Durability
This may seem counterintuitive since fiber cables are made out of glass but believe it or not, fiber is far more durable than copper. This is because copper cables tend to wear out over a quicker period than fiber and require costly replacement. It’s no wonder, then, that so many companies have begun replacing their copper cables with fiber optic cables once they start to wear out. While fiber cabling may have a bigger upfront cost, not having to worry about as much maintenance or future replacements makes it a more cost-effective solution.
Quicker Data Transmission
Both of these types of cables are used to transmit data, but it’s undeniably true that fiber optic cables do this much faster. Let’s look at some numbers: a typical area network that has copper lines installed can carry around 3,000 telephone calls at once. A comparable system that uses fiber optics can carry more than 31,000, according to ABC Science. This is because copper wires simply transmit an electrical current, but fiber sends pulses of light that can travel much quicker than electrical currents can and over much longer distances without affecting network speed.

Unsusceptible to Electromagnetic Interference
Poorly installed and unshielded copper cables can cause electromagnetic interference to form that doesn’t just cause issues on the network in question, but neighboring networks as well. Fiber optics don’t cause this effect. This is especially important over longer distances—the longer your copper cabling, the more susceptible to noise and quality degrade.
