PREMISES CABLING

Premises cabling is undergoing major changes:
- new cathegories appear (cat.6, cat.7)
- optical fiber begins to be used (FTTx)
- data rates increase
- new applications appear
Are copper cables really future-proof?
It's time that nominal data rates on copper drammatically increased and glass optical fiber is becoming somewhat common, but...
Is there a better way?
It's easy... it's plastic fiber
What if:
- Cross-talking and RF noise halve actual data rate?
You just accept it,,
or
you use plastic fiber cables, because it always transmits at full speed (100 Mbps).
- Copper cables can't be laid in conduits by electric wires?
You install new conduits
or
you use a plastic fiber cable, because it's immune to EMI (electromagnetic intereferences) and can be side-by-side with electric cables.
- Silica optical fiber is too hard to install?
You call a trained technicians,
or
you use plastic fiber, because everyone can easily install it.
- You must cable a building?
You choose either yesterday's cat.5, today's cat.6 or tomorrow's cat.7,
or
you use plastic fiber, because it's future-proof and will accomodate your increasing requirements.
America and Japan, at the forefront of cabling technologies, are increasingly using plastic fiber.
