Ethernet
Cat5e and Cat 6 Cabling
When planning your cabling infrastructure, you have two basic choices; copper or fibre. Both offer superior data transmission. The decision on which one to use depends on your current network, your future networking needs, and your applications, including bandwith, distances, environment, cost and more.
Traditionally, copper was used in lower speed, short distanced networks, and fibre was used in higher-speed, long-distanced networks. But with the advent of copper cable running at 10-gigabit rates, this maxim no longer holds true. You may even find a mixed network with a fibre backbone and copper horizontal cable to be an optimum solution.
Fibre Optics
There are many advantages attached to fibre optic cabling. This kind of cabling is faster and more reliable than traditional cabling and is used to connect computer networks, telephones, CCTV and broadband. It is less expensive than copper wire and is also lighter and thinner. What’s more is that it uses less power, whilst the reduced signal degradation results in clearer phone calls without echo.
Fibre Optic cabling can also carry bigger volumes of data so it’s perfect for the modern-day needs of large organisations.
- It is less expensive than equivalent lengths of copper wire
- It is thinner, lighter and has a higher carrying capacity
- It uses less power
- There is less signal degradation and the result is clearer phone calls with no echo effect
- It carries high volumes of digital information
Contacting us
Get in touch with us today if you need help selecting the right cabling for your needs.
The type of network you’re running or planning to run can play a big role in deciding what kind of cabling you opt for, and you’ll need to consider factors like future equipment upgrades and distances between network switches and computers. You’ll also need to think about EMI or electromagnetic interference and whether existing cable needs to be removed.
We can install, maintain, repair and attend to all your cabling needs. Talk to MSE today if you require help with data cabling installations, cable network solutions, network wiring, network cabling repair or network testing.
We would be happy to help.
