What are the differences between the glass optic and plastic optic for use as fiber optics?

In: Computer Networking, Internet, Electronics Engineering [Edit categories]

Answer:

Glass is most often used for long range and high speed because it transmit light better.
Plastic is cheaper but has got certain limits both to speed and range(as in distance).
Plastic is being developed a lot and recent types of plastic material has got near glass qualities.
