What advantage does fiber optic cabling have over other transmission media when it comes to data security?
- Easy Installation
- High Bandwidth
- Immunity to Eavesdropping
- Low Latency
Immunity to Eavesdropping - Fiber optic cables offer a high level of data security because they transmit data as light pulses, and it's extremely difficult to intercept these signals without disrupting the communication. Unlike other mediums where electromagnetic signals can be intercepted, fiber optic cables are more secure against eavesdropping.
