**Fiber Optic cables instead of copper cables - the advantages:**

- Since the signals are in the form of light (photons), the signals can travel longer distances without needing a signal boost.
- The signals are less prone to electromagnetic interference.
- The fiber optic cables are much stronger as compared to copper cables. At the same time, they are much lighter.
- [Fiber optic cables](https://www.bulgin.com/custom-solutions/custom-cable-assembly/) are easier to maintain as compared to copper cables. They also need maintenance less frequently and rarely need to be replaced once installed.
- The speeds at which the signals can travel are extremely high.
- It is very difficult to tamper with the data if it is transmitted over fiber cables.

With the advancement in fiber technology and the need for high-speed signal transmission, fiber optic transmission is being used extensively. But the reliability of the transmission over [fiber cables](https://www.bulgin.com/custom-solutions/custom-cable-assembly/) also depends on the reliability of the connectors being used. Bulgin is a leading manufacturer of Circular Fiber Connectors  which are useful across various applications such as outdoor broadcast, marine, aviation, civil engineering, etc.
