Fiberglass Advantages
Fiberglass
A product of the future
Fiber optic cable is one of the most popular media for fiber expansion and upgrades. Compared to copper, fiber offers many advantages.
Greater bandwidth
Reliability
The data is transmitted using fiber optic cables with high reliability. Compared to copper, it is less susceptible to failure. The core of a fiber optic cable is made of glass, a material that does not conduct electricity.
Fiber optic cable can also be laid near industrial equipment without any problems. It is less susceptible to temperature fluctuations than copper and can therefore also be used underwater, for example in the offshore world.

Five fascinating
facts about fiberglass
The current record for the fastest fiber transmission is an impressive 159 terabytes per second.
Fiberglass is sustainable; It is made from silicon dioxide, the second most abundant element on Earth after oxygen.
In China, all new residences must be wired with fiber technology.
The glass used to make fiber optic cables is so clear that a 5 km long solid block is as transparent as a flawless window pane.
Fiber optic cables have low CO2 emissions due to the lower energy requirements for data transmission.
