Understanding difference between fibre and copper

A common question is whether all cable lines are similar in nature. Those who have seen fibre and copper cable operations are familiar with the process similarity, but they don’t understand the slight variations that exist between processing a crystalline structure like glass, or a flexible material like copper. A lot of people are unable to understand that copper cable and optical fibre cable cannot be created side-by-side on the same device. To demonstrate this more clearly, the physics involved in the cable should be considered.
Both copper and what is essentially glass, or fibre optics, have their advantages and unique characteristics. Copper has already existed in many places and it is cheap in network devices connection. However, with the dramatic reduction of cost of optical deployment, the future-proof fibre optic cable shows more advantages over copper and has a better prospect in the future market. When we try to compare the fibre optic cable with copper cable, we may be thrown into trouble most of the time.
Actually, it is too difficult to be impartial because the pros and cons between them are so clear. Apparently, fibre optic cable outweighs copper cable in the aspect of speed or bandwidth. It is much faster than copper cable, carries much higher bandwidth, has less interference and is lighter, stronger and more durable as well. Considering this situation, let’s take a closer look at the advantages of fibre optic cable over copper cable through this white pape
