Network cabling and installation
Most of our network installations are either Category 5E or Cat 6 with a fibre optic back bone for communication between the comms cabinets.
Category 5E is still widely used in many installations as it supports gigabit Ethernet but some customers do prefer Cat 6 cabling as it offers more head room than Cat 5E.
Category 5E network cabling supports gigabit Ethernet at 100 MHz and was designed for 1000Base-T whereas Cat 6 gives you gigabit Ethernet up to 250 MHz
