These cables are also backwardly compatible with previous versions of HDMI. So what are the advantages of running a fiber optical cable over a copper cable? Fiber cables are much stronger than copper cables and also a lot more flexible. Fiber cables handle weather conditions better than a copper cable ensuring you dont have data stall issues which can cause problems when sending 4K 18gbps signals over long distances. Overall a fiber able is more reliable than a copper cable especially over long distances.
