Coaxial Cable vs. Fiber Optic Cable
They both transmit data, so, which one is right for your particular job?
Modern information networks provide many possible ways to pass information between computers, servers, network hubs, televisions, radios, and telephones. Two of the most popular options for making these connections are coaxial cable and fiber optic cable. Both of these types of cable can be used for carrying video, audio, and other forms of data, and both can offer you distinct advantages and disadvantages in setting up the data network of your dreams.
Coaxial cable has been in common use since roughly the beginning of the twentieth century. It’s a testament to the cable’s resilience and quality that its ubiquity has been able to remain more or less unchallenged throughout its remarkably long lifetime. The key to the coaxial cable’s success has been its shielded design, which allows the cable’s copper core to transmit data quickly, without succumbing to interference or damage from environment factors.
