telecommunications cabling

telecommunications cabling

The history of telecommunications cabling goes back to the early days of cotton sheathed wires.

Usually you will find that telecommunications cabling is covered in some type of plastic coating to insulate each conductor from the next where copper is being used.
These types of cable only carry a single voice conversation in analogue form, but where digital communication is employed the quantity rises to thirty as over ISDN30 circuits.

Nowadays the major national & international routes for telecommunications cabling have seen optical cabling installed.  Thousands of conversations and other data traffic can travel through each fibre core thereby increasing the capacity many fold.

The telecommunications cabling in your office may well be dedicated to your phone system and your computers linked through a separate cabling infrastructure.

These cabling methods came together twenty years ago to become structured cabling, probably better know as CAT5.  This has been superseded by CAT5e and CAT6 improving distance and speed.

So if you need telecommunications cabling we can provide either the traditional CW1308 or the converged Category 5, 5e or 6 styles.
