The backbone of any network is the copper and fiber cable
infrastructure. The integrity, reliability, response time, and return on investment (ROI) of your
network are determined by the quality of the cable and the infrastructure installation. The ROI of
your infrastructure also relates to the efficiency in managing the connectivity as stations move and
hardware is upgraded. The cable infrastructure should be easily determined by instituting a cable
management system. This management system allows the staff to locate problems and solve them in an
expedient manner as well as facilitate changes to the network hardware.
SupaTech can assist you in making the appropriate choice for your network cable infrastructure.
Our experts will assist you in determining whether a fiber optic or a copper backbone is applicable
for your needs. This decision will often depend on your current network, your future networking needs,
and your particular application, including bandwidth, distances, environment, cost, and more. In some
cases, copper may be a better choice; in other situations, fiber offers advantages. Fiber provides
greater bandwidth than copper and is immune to many environmental factors that affect copper. However,
installation costs for fiber are higher than that of copper. In the long run, fiber costs less to maintain.
SupaTech can help you sort out these and other considerations to make the cabling choice that's right for
you. |
