Structured cabling is a cabling infrastructure that provides an organized, standardized approach to cabling. And choosing the right structured cabling solution can have an impact on a range of issues, consisting of data transmission speed, network performance, power consumption, cost, etc.
The structured cabling system can avoid the jungle of wiring and carry increasing data at high rates. It plays a significant role in communication infrastructure.
Why Should Your Company Consider Fiber Optic Cabling?
The emergence of 5G, cloud, IoT, mobile computing, HD video and other high tech applications is driving a need for better connectivity and bandwidth in virtually every space, including workplaces and commercial office buildings. Fiber cabling is the primary technology capable of supporting these applications today and in the future.
Fiber’s very high bandwidth makes it possible to transport huge volumes of data.
The fiber-optic internet is many times faster than even the highest-speed copper internet connections and can range from 5 Mbps to 100 Gbps. During periods of high demand for internet access, the fiber-optic Internet is not likely to slow down.
Perhaps one of the most overlooked but essential benefits of fiber-based connectivity is that fiber cables are far less vulnerable to cyber attacks. Fiber-based cables are much harder to tap into without being detected and are effective at keeping data secure during a cyber-hack.
Latency is a term used to describe delays that occur while processing data over an internet connection. Fiber-optic internet eliminates many of the latency issues users experience mainly when downloading or uploading video or high-definition content.
Fiber optic cables are more durable and stronger than copper. Unlike copper, fiber-optic connectivity operates better than copper-based connectivity in inclement weather conditions that can result in damage or stall data transmission.
