    Advantages Over Copper Cable



    A fiber optic cable is a type of cable that uses light to transmit data over long distances. Fiber offers several advantages over traditional copper cables, including faster data transmission speeds, immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI), and the ability to transfer data over more extended distances. They are also more durable and less susceptible to damage than copper cables.

    Fiber optic cables are classified based upon their performance characteristics. The "OM" designation stands for “Optical Multimode” and was initially defined in the ISO/IEC 11801 standard, which covers premises cabling and classifies optical cable according to wavelength and bandwidth.
