Enhanced Category 5 (CAT5e) & Category 6 (CAT6) Structured Cabling
Modern structured cabling systems are made up of central cabinets on each floor, housing patch panels, network switches and telephone system links. The patch panels are directly connected to floor or wall outlets, capable of delivering either a voice or data signal to the desktop, as required. The individual floor cabinets are then linked via either copper or fibre-optic backbone cables to the network fileservers and telephone system to create an integrated data and voice network. Additional signal types such as CCTV, public address, video and audio can also be carried across the same structure. Office re-locations and expansions are therefore greatly simplified by the ability to patch any required services to any nearby available network outlet. We specialize in the installation of structured CAT5e and CAT6 data cabling. These two data cable types form the basis of all current structured cabling standards. Our installations range from a single additional network outlet to a complete structured system of 1000+ outlets.
CAT5e is a specification designed for data networks to support very high-speed data transmission, such as Gigabit Ethernet, at a bandwidth of 100Mhz. This system is suitable for general business applications.
CAT6 is a specification designed for use in next generation data communications networks, and will comfortably support all present applications including Gigabit Ethernet up to 250Mhz. This system is suitable for high bandwidth applications, which require an increased data throughput.
High Capacity Fiber Optic Cabling
For many installations requiring high data throughput, a fiber backbone for a data network is the obvious choice. Fiber optic installations generally are either single mode or multimode fiber cable. While fiber cable installation does require ultra precise installation specifications. with its greater bandwidth capacity, resistance to electrical interference and generally a lower overall operation and maintenance costs, fiber is the most cost effective connectivity method to deploy in the long term. With our highly trained and certified installation technicians, Kippers can give you the most cost effective installation of your high capacity and very secure network backbone. There is no job too small or too large. Whether you require one line or one thousand lines, we will do the job efficiently, to spec, and on budget.
