Compared to optical fiber, coaxial cables have higher signal attenuation over long distances and lower data transmission speeds, making them less suitable for modern high-speed networks. Coaxial Cable is the type of guided media, made of Plastics and copper wires. It is used to transmit the signal in electrical form rather than light form. Its installation and implementation is easy but it is less efficient than optical fiber. Apart from that, it also provides moderate high. Coaxial cable transmits electrical signals with moderate bandwidth and susceptibility to interference, commonly used in cable television and internet services. Coax consists of a copper core surrounded by insulating material, a metallic. Without question, fiber optic cables are better than coaxial, but it depends on which service you have at your address as to which one you'll need. Cable companies are now providing hybrid coaxial fiber services, too.
