Where copper cabling uses electricity to transmit signals from one end to another, fiber optics use light pulses to achieve the same result. Light passes through the cable, bouncing off the cladding until it reaches the other end – a process called total internal reflection. This method of data transfer offers a number of advantages over copper data cabling, Lower attenuation (signal loss) over greater distances, No crosstalk, Security, and Futureproofing.
