Optical fiber is rising in both telecommunication and data communication due to its unsurpassed advantages: faster speed with less attenuation, less impervious to electromagnetic interference (EMI), smaller size and greater information carrying capacity. Advantages of Fiber Optic Transmission Fiber is the only access medium capable of scaling from megabit to terabit speeds without changing the underlying strand. This is why AT&T and fiber optics infrastructure is transitioning toward multi-gigabit service tiers (2 Gbps, 5 Gbps), and operators like. There are many advantages of using these cables over other kinds of communication cables, like the bandwidth of these cables is high, and they are less vulnerable than metal cables. The biggest disadvantage of these cables is their installation. The unceasing bandwidth needs, on the other. In addition to the extra costs, fiber does have some other disadvantages.
