Another use for fiber is electrical insulation. Some people like to run cables underground between homes. If you run CAT5 cable, the homes have different ground potentials and you will burn out network card during any electrical storm. The solution is fiber! Run fiber between the homes or run a pair of fiber converters on one end of the cable with a short fiber run.
