Voice and Data Cabling

With the tremendous increase in the use of modern communication devices, voice and data cabling requirements have merged. Cabling solutions are now designed to support voice, data, and other services such as video conferencing and security devices. The choice of cable is dependent on the overall requirements of the customer.

GB Telecom can advise customers on the most suitable cable to use and has the expertise to install and test the cable as an integral part of their communications system. This includes the provision of wall outlets, patch panels and rack mount cabinets.

Category 5 (CAT5) cable is widely used and meets all the standard performance tests and is rated at 100Mhz. Category 5 Enhanced (CAT5e) cable is rated up to 200Mhz but has more stringent performance requirements. CAT6 cabling is capable of running gigabit Ethernet and therefore provides a more ‘future-proof’ media solution.

Cable Guarantee: All cable supplied and installed by GB Telecom comes complete with the manufacturer’s 15 year warranty. Where necessary, full cable performance test results can be supplied if a customer requests this.
