- low loss, so repeater-less transmission over long distances is possible
- large data-carrying capacity (thousands of times greater)
- immunity to electromagnetic interference, including nuclear electromagnetic pulses (but can be damaged by alpha and beta radiation)
- high electrical resistance, so safe to use near high-voltage equipment or between areas with different earth potentials
- light weight
- signals contain very little power
