T1 Line vs. Fiber Optic Line

Posted on by 10

Both T1 lines and fiber optic cables remain popular network infrastructure options for businesses today. T1 technology can operate on fiber optic cables, but T1 lines often refer to the implementation of T1 technology over the twisted wire copper cables used in telephony. While both of these technologies offer reliable and secure data transfer, they also come with their own set of benefits and drawbacks.

Let’s compare T1 lines and optical fiber cables and determine when they can be used.
