What is Fiber Optic Cabling
Fiber optic cabling is the science of transmitting data, voice, and images by the passage of light through cables made up of thin, transparent glass fibers.
Fiber Optic Cabling in Oakville
Oakville is known for its Professional Services and Advanced Manufacturing industries. This means there are many drop-ceiling office environments and warehouse environments. In offices with drop ceilings, cables are commonly run in the drop ceiling space (also called the Plenum) so it is important that contractors use Plenum rated cable so it meets fire code. In warehouse environments, cables are commonly run on the truss and rafters so it is important that contractors are properly certified to operate scissor lifts.
Benefits of working with a Fiber Optic Cabling Company
The Benefit of working with a Structured Cabling company is mainly peace of mind. When working with a dedicated structured cabling company, you are working with a team who has received professional Fiber Optic training. Properly trained professionals will make sure that code and standards are properly met as well as connectivity and transmission is working properly.
We rely on cabling for so many things these days. This includes workstation network cabling, wireless access points, cameras, alarm, access control, and audio video. All of which commonly funnel through one fiber optic backbone cable. It is the knowledge that it was done by a trained professional and tested to the highest industry standards that will provide you the peace of mind needed for your business to be successful.
Challenges in the fiber Optic cabling industry
It seams these days; more and more companies offer fiber optic cabling as a service. This si because of the decreasing prices for fiber materials, improvements to the simplicity of the splicing and termination process, and the access to instruction videos on YouTube. Though there is nothing wrong with this if properly trained, it is all too common for us to be called to help fix fiber cabling that was not done properly. Splicing and terminations (connections) should be done by a trained professional and should be tested with a proper tester.
