What is the main advantage of using fiber optic cables in networking?

• Low bandwidth and slower data transmission

• High and faster data transmission

• More susceptible to electromagnetic interference

• Limited compatibility with different networking devices

What type of cable is used to connect a computer to a router for initial configuration?
