Fiber Optic Cable
Fiber optic cable is the fastest way to
transmit data over long distances such as building to building or floor to
floor. This hair thin glass (or fused silica) strand is capable of data
transmission speeds of 500 MBPS (millions of bytes per second) or more.
Use of this type of cable is usually to connect buildings or floors to a
companies high speed network. It does this by converting low voltage
signals transmitted through the networks copper (Category-5) cable into a pulse
of light. This is done by an Optical Transceiver; one of these
relatively inexpensive devices is placed at each end of the fiber and is
connected through a fiber optic patch cord to the AUI port on the back of the
networks hubs. Once in place on the network these transceivers, coupled
with the fiber optic cable itself provide a constant (virtual), high speed
connection to the companies network.
Key Benefits
- Building to Building, Floor to Floor connectivity
- High speed data transmission
- Cost of cable has dramatically decreased, making it the
logical choice when linking floors or buildings.
- Provides a strong backbone to high speed networks
Category-5 Data Cable
Category-5 cable is the most commonly used
type of cable in station cabling. This type of cable gets its name
from the number of twists per inch in the pairs of the cable, meaning there
are five twists per inch in the pairs of the cable. This
twisting of pairs enables the cable, which is made of copper, to transmit
data at much higher speeds than would be possible without them. This
twisted copper cable is capable of transmission speeds of 100MBPS (millions
of bytes per second) or more. Use of this type of cable is usually to
connect individual work stations throughout a building to the network.
It does this by transmitting low voltage signals from the workstation
through the cable to the hub and into the companies server. Once in
place these cables will allow users to share resources and printers on a
network with higher speed connections than would be possible with standard
CAT-3 twisted pair telephone wire.
Key Benefits
-
Station to station, station to server
connectivity
-
High speed data transmission
-
Cost of cable is relatively inexpensive
-
Provides strong station to station,
station to server connection to high speed networks
Category-3 Telephone
Cable
Category-3 cable is the most commonly used
type of cable in telephone cabling. This type of cable gets its name
from the number of twists per inch in the pairs of the cable, meaning there
are three twists per inch in the pairs of the cable. This
twisting of pairs enables the cable, which is made of copper, to transmit
data at much higher speeds than would be possible without them. Use of
this type of cable is usually to connect telephones, fax machines and modems
throughout a building to the companies telephone system or dial tones.
Key Benefits
- Station to Telephone System, Station to Dial tone
connectivity
- Cost of cable is relatively inexpensive
- Provides a permanent connection to the telephone system
or dial tones
Our
Systems
Each and every one of our cabling systems
is unique, as every company we cable has different needs. Every
cabling system we install is custom tailored to meet these needs, whether it
requires CAT-5 and CAT-3 cabling to the work station or a combination of
CAT-5, CAT-3 and fiber optic. Regardless of the design every cable is
run to the highest of industry standards regarding premise wiring and tested
end to end for continuity. Every cable is tested to the industries
TIA/EIA standards in the case of CAT-5 all cables will be tested to TIA/EIA
568B standards prior to the completion of the installation.
