What? Why is there so much fiber optic cable?

From Internet (not op):

Fiber-optic first-person-view drones areΒ jam-proof. Sending and receiving signals along millimeters-thick but miles-long optical fibers, these FPV drones are impervious to the radio interference that can ground wireless FPV drones. That doesn't mean it's impossible to defeat a fiber-optic drone.
