"There are a few disadvantages of fiber optic cable, however the advantages probably outweigh the disadvantages.Fiber optic cable is an exceptionally fast connection and can transmit data long distances without much loss of data.However, Fiber optic is a new technology and is only available in certain areas, this is a disadvantage and if you do not live in the more popular areas then you might
. have to wait a while to get this technology. Another disadvantage is that is cost more than regular cable connections, maybe even double.Also, the cable line itself is a harder material and not as flexible, so running it might be more difficult.Fiber optic consists of thousands of clear glass fiber strands about as thick as a strand of hair. Digital data is transmitted by transforming digital data into modulated light beams, which are sent through the cable by a laser light emitting diode method at very fast speeds."
