A structured cabling system provides a backbone for office communications. It connects people by providing connections from specific points around a building, to a central location. 

Telecommunications Services, Voice and Computer Networks, are all connected into a patch panel. Devices such as printers, wireless access points and faxes, can then be ‘plugged into’ the network to deliver the required service wherever it’s needed around your premises.

CAT5e
Cat5e has now taken over from the old Cat5 standard. This type of cabling is now used in the vast majority of office installations. It is suitable for Voice, Data, and the modern converged technologies such as Voice over IP (VoIP). Most businesses decide that even if they don’t use this technology now they will future proof their decisions by ensuring that any installation is ‘VoIP enabled’.

CAT6
With today’s demand for fast business processes and reliable communication needs, Cat6 is a ‘high-end’ solution where guaranteed speed is important. It exceeds all existing and proposed data standards for structured cabling. Testing standards and components are both very exacting for this standard.

FIBRE
Fibre cabling has traditionally been considered only for backbone connectivity but with higher bandwidth requirements continually increasing the cost of copper cabling, fibre is quickly becoming a cost effective cabling medium.

VOICE CABLE 
Often recognised as standard white ‘BT type’ Voice cabling is used for phones, faxes etc. It does not support any of the modern converged technologies such as Voice over IP (VoIP), which requires Structured cabling.
