Fibre or Cat5 Cabling
When choosing longer run IP systems in high lightening areas or with the need for long term durability fibre optic cable is the preferred method of transmission. Fibre is durable and long lasting and in case where trenching has been required is advisable to ensure a durable network. Cat5 cabling commonly associated with standard network cabling is used for shorter runs in more controlled office environments.
