FAQs – Fibre & Data Cabling
Why is structured cabling important?
Structured cabling ensures that your network is future-proof, reliable, easy to maintain, scalable, and capable of handling data, voice, and video traffic without frequent issues. Cooper Weston handles design, testing, and documentation so you don’t have to worry about weak links.
What are the benefits of Cat6A versus Cat5e or Cat6?
– Cat5e is suitable for reliable Ethernet at lower speeds, often cost-effective.
– Cat6 supports 1 Gbps networks and offers improved performance while still being backwards compatible with Cat5e.
– Cat6A (“enhanced”) supports higher throughput (up to 10 Gbps) and better performance, especially over longer distances. Good for more demanding applications.
How do you ensure cabling performance and reliability?
We use certified products (e.g. Leviton), insured with full warranties. Our installers are Leviton-certified and follow best practices for termination, splicing, routing, and testing. All work is Fluke tested or equivalent, with performance validation and documentation.
What is involved in fibre optic cabling?
Fibre optic cabling involves several stages, from initial network design through to installation, testing, and sign-off. We begin with a site survey to determine the right fibre type for your specific requirements- either single-mode fibre for longer distances and higher bandwidth, or multimode fibre for shorter distances within a building. Our team then installs the cabling, performs splicing and termination, and conducts full signal integrity testing to confirm optimal performance before handover. You receive a complete test report with the finished job.
