The optical fiber has the following advantages:
It occupies little space, given its small size, but it is extremely flexible, which facilitates its installation.
It is light because it weighs eight times less than a conventional cable.
It has great resistance, both mechanical and thermal, and resists corrosion well.
It is greener, compared to waste left by conventional wiring.
Immune to electromagnetic interference, given the nature of its components.
Fast, efficient and safe. It is the best form of cable data transmission known.

Disadvantages of fiber optic
The disadvantages of optical fiber point to the following:
They are fragile since the glass inside is susceptible to breaking.
It requires converters, to return the light energy to its informative sense.
Splices are difficult, especially in rural areas.
It does not transmit electricity, so it requires complex transmitters and transmitters, whose power supply cannot be taken from the line itself.
Aging in the presence of water, which limits its worldwide application.
There are no optical memories.
