The correct advantages of fiber optic cables are less attenuation and less interference.

  1. Less Attenuation: Fiber optic cables transmit signals over greater distances with less loss of signal strength compared to copper cables. This means that the data can travel further without the need for frequent signal boosters.

  2. Less Interference: Fiber optics are not susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which can affect copper cables. This makes fiber optic cables more reliable for high-speed data transmission, especially in environments with lots of electronic noise.
