Explanation

Copper cabling is divided into two characteristics here: small office/home office (SOHO) applications typically use standard unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper, while some copper cables (like STP) are comprised of both shielded and unshielded twisted pairs. Multimode fiber is used for shorter distances such as internal datacenter connectivity because its larger core allows multiple light modes to travel simultaneously, but this also causes modal dispersion, resulting in increased attenuation over long distances compared to single-mode fiber.
