• Optical fibres have for quite some time been preferred over copper cables for the transport of voice and data traffic in carrier networks, especially over longer distances. One major advantage of optical fibres is that, because of their huge amount of available bandwidth, they can support significantly higher data rates than copper cables. Optical fibres are also less susceptible to undesirable effects such as electromagnetic interference, which make them better suited for use in long-distance networks. (As cited in introduction.)
