There are lots of reasons to choose something other than fiber, this isn't/shouldn't be a discussion of why you, or anyone else, would choose fiber instead of this product. It's pretty obvious that there is fiber in the world and saying "but there's fiber!" isn't very constructive.

Some off the top of my head reasons why I wouldn't choose fiber:

- runs that require turning very sharply, beyond what fiber can handle.

- applications where the cable can undergo sheering forces causing sharp bends or damage.

- applications where the cabling already exists.

- in cases where the cabling is already owned thus this becomes quite cheap.
