Benefits of fibre optic transmission:
The use of optical fibre has a number of inherent advantages over conventional coaxial alternatives: ¡¤ Low loss - enabling very long path lengths with minimal degradation of carrier-to-noise. ¡¤ Lightweight, highly flexible, small diameter cable. ¡¤ Frequency response is independent of path length. ¡¤ Immunity to electrical interference - the signal is not corrupted by radiated interference. ¡¤ Non-conductive - provides electrical isolation. ¡¤ Lower cost compared to coaxial cable over long distances.
