Fiber optic cabling solves these problems and offers users:

• High data rate and wide bandwidth
• Immunity to EMI/RFI and lightning damage
• No ground loops
• Low attenuation (data loss)
• Longer distance - 2 and 5 km with Multimode fiber or over 25 km with Single Mode fiber
• Small cable diameter fits anywhere
• Light weight
• No sparks if cut
• No shock hazard
• Secure communications
• Low system cost
• Longer life expectancy than copper or coaxial cable
• Cabling of the future
