Understanding the Difference - Fiber Optics Cabling vs Copper Cabling
Copper in itself is an excellent conductor of heat and electricity, and hence copper cables have been used in wiring since the days of analog landline telephones and even before. Fiber optics is beneficial in terms of radio frequency (RF) as well, especially useful for mission critical application sectors such as defense, satellite communication, telecommunication, and aerospace. RF-Over-Fiber is a technology which enables the transmission of high-frequency RF signals over a fiber optic cable. However, this needs robust RF connectors which can prevent signal attenuations which may be caused due to the reflected light.
