What advantages does copper cable have over optical cable?

Copper cable is one of the widely used transmission media. It is highly versatile and can be used in various network transmission scenarios, such as Ethernet, telephone lines, and television signal transmission. Do you know what advantages copper cable has over optical cable? Let’s discuss it with the editor.

The difference between copper cable and optical fiber is that copper cable transmits data through electrical pulses and can transmit voice signals, while optical fiber cannot. Since the core of the optical fiber is made of silica, it cannot conduct electricity, but the copper in the copper core can conduct electricity. Copper cable can supply electricity while making data connections and can be used in power systems. Copper cable has more advantages than optical fiber because it is more convenient and cost-effective in terms of maintenance, cost, and wiring. The core of the optical fiber is composed of glass fiber, which is more fragile than the copper in the copper cable. If you are not careful during wiring and maintenance, the optical fiber may be damaged, but the copper cable is not easy to break. It is worth mentioning that optical fiber cannot replace copper cable in terms of voice signal transmission.

In summary, compared with optical cable, copper cable still has some irreplaceable advantages. The wires and cables produced by Guangzhou Chenyi Electronics Co., Ltd. are made of 99.99% high-purity oxygen-free copper. The copper core has a bright color, low resistivity, and excellent conductivity. It has low eccentricity and is produced using advanced equipment. It has uniform thickness and can effectively prevent current breakdown and fire. It has a longer service life and is less likely to cause danger. It complies with national standards, has sufficient inventory, and can be shipped quickly.
