Will " intelligent Buildings " Use fiber optics or copper wiring to carry To voice/data/Video Throughout The Structure?

Question

Accepted Answer

Intelligent buildings may use both fiber optics and copper wiring for voice/data/video transmission.

Intelligent buildings may use fiber optics for high-speed data transmission over long distances.
Copper wiring may be used for shorter distances and to connect devices within the building.
Fiber optics offer higher bandwidth and faster data transfer rates compared to copper wiring.
Copper wiring is more cost-effective for shorter distances and may already be installed in existing buildings.
A combination of fiber optics and copper wiring allows for a flexible and efficient communication infrastructure.

Accepted Answer

Both, fiber will be used when the distance are longer then 90 meters or data rate are higher (e.g Gigabit Ethernet). Most backbones will be fiber. Desktop connection to telecom closets will be copper for the near future, until network managers find out what a telecom closets really costs! Phones will continue to use copper until we all go to voice over IP. Video(CCTV) user fiber for distance over about 150-250 meters.
