Greater Bandwidth
The most notable advantage of a indoor fiber optical cable is that it provides significantly improved performance when it comes to bandwidth. The volume of data that can be transmitted is far greater than and is unrivalled by any other type of cable-based communication.
Longer Distances
Indoor fiber optical cables are designed to carry signals over much longer distances than traditional cabling as they offer low power loss.
Thin & Lightweight
Optical fibres are much thinner and lighter than copper wires, allowing them to be drawn into smaller diameters, making them more suitable for places where space is restricted.
Superior Carrying Capacity
Due to how thin the fibres are, more of them can fit into a given-diameter cable than copper wires.
Less Interference
As indoor fiber optical cables don’t carry an electrical signal, they are resistant to electromagnetic interference. Not only does this mean the rate of error is low, but it also helps to enhance the indoor fiber optical cable’s ability to transfer data quickly over longer distances without suffering considerable signal degradation.
Also, unlike electrical signals, light signals from one fibre don’t interfere with those of other fibres.
High-Level Security
Fibre transmission offers a level of security that simply cannot be matched by other materials. As they don’t radiate electromagnetic energy, it is extremely difficult to ‘listen’ in or tap. This makes it the most secure medium available for carrying sensitive data.
Strong, Reliable & Flexible
Optic fibres possess greater tensile strength and are sturdier than metal fibres of the same diameter, which means they’re less likely to suffer damage. Fibre also isn’t as affected anywhere near as much by weather, moisture or corrosive elements as metal wiring can be.
