STRUCTURAL CABLING

CAT5 vs. CAT6 vs. FIBER

If you are a building manager or a business owner, chances are that you have considered structured cabling or structured wiring for your home office or office building. Any new or existing office would need Cat5 or Cat6 wiring for networking server or computers, phones and other equipment like printers and security cameras.Fiber Optic and coaxial cable is also widely used for transferring internet service from the provider to the business location.Network cabling including cat5 or cat6 or fiber optic is the only means for a business or an office to share and communicate their resources and information.  In structured cabling, several electronic devices like the telephones, computers, wireless access points, copiers, and security cameras are connected by the technological infrastructure of the cabling system.

Fiber optic is the newest in this technology but not every office would require that. In fact, 95% of communication connections are done through cat5 or cat6 which can handle up to 10 gigabit data transfer. Network wiring can also provide power to all the electronic devices using PoE (Power over Ethernet) technology including wifi access points, phones and security cameras. As infrastructure is the most crucial part of your datavoice and video network, you have to choose a qualified experienced networking vendor as your voice and data provide.

  • Category 5e
Also known as Cat 5e, this is a twisted pair cable type designed for high signal integrity. This is often used in cabling for computer networks and to carry data and voice services and IP security cameras. Cat5e is still widely used and covers almost 75% of all structural cabling and wiring installations.
  • Category 6/6a
Also known as Cat 6, this is used to carry 100Base-TX, Ethernet 10Base-T, and 1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet) connections. As compared to the earlier cabling standards, Cat 6 cable is backed with more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise. Plus it will allow you to cover more distance during wiring.
  • Multi-mode fiber
It is best suited for premise applications where:
Links are less than For data rates of
1000 meters 100 MBPS or less
550 meters 1 GBPS or less
300 meters 10 GBPS or less
Among the two types of multi-mode fiber(62.5 um and 50 um), our team will help you determine the right type for your business.
