Detailed explanation-1: -Speed is the first and most obvious difference between fiber optics and Ethernet. Fiber is clearly faster, being able to sustain data speeds more than 100x faster than Ethernet under ideal conditions. That being said, it becomes a question of whether an environment needs data speeds that fast.
Detailed explanation-2: -A fiber-optic cable contains anywhere from a few to hundreds of optical fibers within a plastic casing. Also known as optic cables or optical fiber cables, they transfer data signals in the form of light and travel hundreds of miles significantly faster than those used in traditional electrical cables.
Detailed explanation-3: -Copper uses electrons for data transmission, while fiber uses photons. Light travels faster than electrical pulses, so fiber can transmit more bits of data per second and offer higher bandwidth. The transmission capabilities aren’t the only difference between these technologies, however.
