These days, everyone is talking about the advantages of setting up a fiber optic network for your business instead of copper cabling. While it is clear that both offer benefits, more often than not, fiber optic turns out to be the most advantageous choice. Here are a few reasons why.
FIBER OPTICS IS CONSIDERABLY FASTER
Is there anyone who still doesn’t know that fiber optic is a lot faster than copper? While it is true that copper networks perform just fine and are able to deliver acceptable speeds that satisfy the demands of most small business, once you go fiber, you can never go back. Fiber optic is able to transmit data way faster, over greater distances, without slowing down or altering the quality of the information in any way.
FIBER OPTIC CABLES COVER LONG DISTANCES
As we shortly mentioned earlier, not only that fiber optic transmits data quicker, it can actually do it over longer distances, compared to copper. Because of its low power loss, the signals can be transmitted over long distances without any trouble.
YOUR DATA IS SAFE
Any business owner has that small though at some point – what if someone is stealing my data? No worries! That will not be a problem with fiber optic cables, as they put a very low-security risk. You cannot actually see how the information is being transmitted, making it, in this way, harder to access.
ONE OF THE GREATEST ADVANTAGES: THEY ARE WILDLY AVAILABLE
At the beginning of fiber optic technology, the main issue was that the fiber optic cables were not that easy to find and were considerably pricier than copper products, which were (and still are) easily accessible. With the development and growth of fiber optic market, the fiber optic products are now available for everyone, everywhere.
