Because fibers are not subject to the electromagnetic interference, also speeds are much higher. Fibers can be used to longer distances (up to 40 km).

Which types of electromagnetic waves can be used to send signals along optical fibers?
Only light is used to send signals along optical fibres. That's why this type of fibre is described as "optical". Fibres designed to conduct electrical signals are referred to as "wires".
What cell is responsible for transmitting signals throughout the body?
The nervous system is what is responsible for transmitting signals throughout the body.
Are HCS optical fibers smaller than glass optical fibers?
false!
How is a message transmitted through a glass fiber?
Different types of information are transmitted from one place to another by signals of light pulses through optical fibers.
When were optical fibers first made?
1856
What is inside optical fibers?
Mirrored glass
What has the author Hiroshi Murata written?
Hiroshi Murata has written: 'Handbook of optical fibers and cables' -- subject(s): Optical fibers, Handbooks, manuals
Can electricity be transmitted through optical fibers?
No. Light is transmitted through optical fibers.
What technologies are optical fibers used with?
Optical fibers are flexible transparent fibers made of glass or plastic and transmits light between its two ends. They are mainly used in the fields of applied science and engineering.
How do tools that implement optical fibers improve medical care?
Tools with optical fibers improve medical care by allowing physicians to see inaccessible places
Where does this optical fibres are used?
Optical fibers are used both in medical and telecommunication purposes. Optical fibres are able to convey 100% of the light waves so they are used for seeing the internal organs of your body. Since they can transmit electromagnetic signals with such efficiency they are used for communications like underground cable and telephone wires.
How light can be used for communication?
using optical fibers....
