Differentiate between communication using Optical Fiber and Ethernet Cable in context of wired medium of communication technologies.

Answer

Optical Fiber	Ethernet Cable
These cables are made up of many thin strands of glass that transmit data using light signals.	These cables are comprised of multiple copper wires twisted together that transmit digital information using electrical signals.
Information sent via optical fibre cables is much more difficult to intercept because light can’t be read in the same way signals sent via copper cabling can be.	Due to the way in which data is transmitted across Ethernet copper cabling, it is vulnerable to being intercepted. Ethernet switches can help to improve security.
There are two kinds of the optical fibre; single-mode and multi-mode.	There are two kinds of Ethernet cable; shielded pair and unshielded pair.
