fiber disadvantages

I can think of a couple of disadvantages. The first is that a copper wire can supply power to the electronics, while a fiber can't.

The second is ease of repair. If a copper wire breaks, I can tape it together (heck, I can twist it together without any tools.) If a fiber breaks, you need specialized tools and preparation.

Hope this helps.
