The Right Infrastructure

The choice of cable for your infrastructure is as important as the hardware you wish to run on it. At Zytel we pride ourselves at helping our clients choose the correct installation for their specific requirements.

Every infrastructure installation varies and a correctly chosen installation can be an extremely cost effective decision. Saving time on future upgrades and robustness in terms of moves and changes not to mention reducing loss of connectivity.

Fibre Optic
The first choice for backbone infrastructure Fiber Optic offers the fastest speeds in infrastructure technology matching any transmission speeds at which the fastest switches can currently operate. Now being used more frequently and preferred to deliver broadband by several service providers. Fiber optic is the ultimate solution for the user who requires information transported at the fastest possible speeds.

Cat5e
Still used but often overlooked as businesses lean toward the Cat6 option. Cat5e cable has been the staple installation for the last ten years and can run 10/100 but with ever increasing switch speeds many businesses are now looking to future proof their infrastructure through other alternatives.

Cat6
With speeds up to 1Gb Cat6 installations have become increasingly popular with businesses requiring a robust infrastructure to match the increase in switch and router speed. The popularity of Cat6 in the past few years has seen it overtake Cat5e as the preferred choice in new instillations.

Cat7
The next generation copper- Cat7 is faster and more reliable than its predecessors. Now being specified in installations in government buildings and public transport workplaces. Cat7 has seen a recent influx in popularity. A key advantage being Cat7 can carry information at faster speeds to areas where fiber optic cable is currently unable to be run.
