Is Fiber greener than copper?

Fiber is not only more efficient and stable, but also greener. Sending data over Fiber requires less electricity compared to traditional copper cables. In this way, we can move more and more easily toward a greener society. Moreover, it is not harmful to the planet to mine silica, as it is one of the most abundant materials on earth. Finally, a fiber connection is also more sustainable because a fiber optic cable can be used much longer than a traditional, copper cable.
