Detailed explanation-1: -Fiber optic bundles do not conduct electrical currents, making fiber data connections fully resistant to fire, electromagnetic interference, lightning, or radio signals. Copper cables are designed to conduct electricity, making copper Internet vulnerable to power lines, lightning, and deliberate signal scrambling.
Detailed explanation-2: -Greater bandwidth-Because fibre provides far greater bandwidth than copper and has proven performance at rates up to 10 Gbps, it gives network designers future-proofing capabilities as network speeds and requirements increase. Also, fibre optic cable can carry more information with greater fidelity than copper wire.
Detailed explanation-3: -Knowledge of telecommunications. Understanding of technical operating systems. Ability to use your initiative. Excellent attention to detail. Excellent customer service skills. Good mathematical abilities. More items
