What is the difference between twisted pair and fiber optic cables?

Twisted pair uses light signals, fiber optic uses electrical signals.

Twisted pair is more expensive, fiber optic is less susceptible to interference.

Twisted pair is faster and more reliable, fiber optic is slower.

Twisted pair uses electrical signals, fiber optic uses light signals and is less susceptible to interference.

Twisted pair uses electrical signals while fiber optic uses light signals. Fiber optic cables are less susceptible to interference.
