Copper network cabling
Copper network cabling can provide a significant boost to network performance with Category (Cat) 6 cabling. It provides an increase in band width over previous copper cabling of up to 250MHz, making it the perfect solution for high-volume data transfers, video streaming/conferencing and VoIP calls. For a stable connection free from interference, Cat 6 cabling offers a cost-effective solution for quality communication and data transfer.
Fibre optic cable
Fibre optic cable is the most effective way to transmit data. Inside, the cable is full of thin glass strands (only slightly thicker than a human hair!), coated in plastic. These strands act like mirrors, enabling digital data to be pulsed along them using infrared laser light.
At MEFS, we take the time to understand your business requirements before designing and presenting a data network solution that’s right for you. In addition, we can offer expert advice on installing fibre optic/copper cabling into your new build, extension or building alteration. Call our friendly team today to find out how we can help you to future-proof your business with an integrated communications network.

What are the advantages of Cat 6 copper cabling?
• Backward compatibility with devices means cost-effective upgrading
• Value for money, offering a significant improvement in performance at a lower cost than fibre optic cable
• Higher band width and speed than previous copper cabling with better signal integrity
• Offers a good intermediate solution for many businesses, without the cost of upgrading to fibre optics
What are the advantages of fibre optic networks?
Fibre optic cable offers many advantages over copper:
• Improve Data Transfer Speeds
Fibre optic cable provides far greater bandwidth than copper wire, enabling large amounts of data to be transmitted very quickly.
• Send data over long distances
You’ll struggle to send data further than 100 metres along copper wire, but it can travel miles, almost instantly and with no data deterioration, along fibre optic cable because the signal is made of light.
• Reliability
Fibre optic cables provide extremely reliable data transmission as well as being lightweight, thin, and more durable than copper.
