CAT5 vs. CAT6 vs. FIBER

While Cat6 cables have long been used for network connectivity including computers, IP Phones, Security Cameras …this type of cabling might not be the go-to choice for long. Instead, as video streaming and wireless communications become more standard business practices, this kind of copper wiring might meet its bandwidth limitations. Instead, a fiber-optic infrastructure is increasingly becoming the gold standard for companies reaching their bandwidth limits with Cat6. Passive optical networks (PON) and active Ethernet (AE) can help companies transition into fiber optic cabling easily and without hassle.

Low-Voltage Cabling Solutions

Voice and data cabling, structured cabling, ethernet cabling, wiring, network cables…these are all terms used for structured cabling. Structured cabling is the copper or fiber wiring in the walls. These cables connect your computer, phone, wireless access points, cameras, copiers, etc. to your data and phone network. Without these cables we would not have network capability. These cables can also provide power to devices, such as cameras, wireless access points, and phones, using power over ethernet (PoE) technology.

Since the structured cabling infrastructure is the most critical part of your voice and data network, choosing a qualified voice and data cabling provider is a critical decision. Wiring Group installs all of its projects to TIA/EIA-568 C, IEEE and BICSI standards with certified installers.

We use only high-end quality products in our structured wiring solutions, which are backed by manufacturer warranties. Our goal is to provide our customers with a physical layer infrastructure capable of supporting all applications designed in conjunction with today’s standards. By taking time to listen, study your business and understand your goals, we can install a complete voice and data cabling solution with service and support during and after the installation.

Cabling

structured-cablin-tallCategory 5e: Commonly referred to as “Cat 5e” is a twisted pair cable type designed for high signal integrity. It is often used in cabling for computer networks and is also used to carry basic voice services.

Category 6/6a : Commonly referred to as “Cat 6” it is used to carry Ethernet 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet) connections. Cat 6 cable is backed with more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise than earlier cabling standards.

Multi-Mode Fiber: Best suited for premise applications where links are less than 1000 meters for 100 MB/s or less, 550 meters for data rates of 1 GB/s or less, and 300 meters for data rates of 10GB/s or less. There are two types of multi-mode fiber, 62.5 um and 50 um. Our Taylored team can help determine the right type for you.

Single-Mode Fiber: Best suited for bandwidth requirements exceeding multi-mode’s capability, distances exceeding multi-mode’s capability and where the application dictates single mode like video.
