    Absolutely true, there are some real world scenarios where fiber has the advantage

    • Low/No electromagnetic interference
      • Radio labs
      • MRI techs
      • (audiophiles? maybe)
    • Low latency, long distance
      • The source computer can me many meters/km away
    • All in one device
      • One fiber pair can run the full KVM stack for a remote computer

    But yeah, for most scenarios, conventional cables are fine, —
