The other advantage is that fiber doesn't have such problems as we had in my last company where between the ethernets in different rooms was a voltage of about ~60V. Sometimes people got nice electroshocks ... In the company before that (a power plant) voltage induced by working generators made the RG58 cabeling unuseable; there was no other fix than switching to fiber.
