When it comes to fiber optic patch cable, it offers users many advantages of which its worth considering. First, they transfer data at a much higher speed than regular copper cables which is essential for anything involving large data transfers such as multimedia applications. Second, fiber optic cables maintain high signal quality over longer distances without loss of quality. This capability makes them perfect for WANs (Wide Area Networks). Thirdly, they are essentially impervious to electrical interference, so users in an environment with many electrical devices can count on having reliable connections every time. Fourthly, fiber optic patch cables have longer life spans and are more durable than copper units; this will reduce both your recurring capital cost in purchasing new ones due to constant wear (which decreases the useful service life of such cables) and long term operational expenditure.
