Higher Power Consumption: Copper transceivers typically consume more power compared to fiber transceivers. This is because copper-based data transmission requires more electrical energy.

For these reasons, it is essential to ensure proper ventilation, avoid full equipped the ports with copper transceivers, and consider switches with better heat dissipation for heavy use cases.
