Explanation
Fiber optic cables are less susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI) compared to copper cables like Cat 5e, Cat 6, or coaxial cables. When running cables in close proximity to a large power cable, there is a higher risk of electromagnetic interference. Fiber optic cables are immune to such interference, making them a suitable choice for ensuring reliable and high-performance data transmission.
