​Copper vs. Fiber Cabling: Which One Is Right For Your Business?

We offer structure cabling services here at Reliable Voice and Data Systems. People always ask us what's better: copper or fiber cabling? We are here to give you the facts and let you decide for yourself.

Copper Cabling

• Copper cabling allows you to access Power over Ethernet (PoE). With PoE, you can power phones and CCTV. If the power goes out unexpectedly, PoE is not affected.
• Structured copper cabling allow you to use less expensive electronics.
• Most TDM environments were designed to be compatible with copper cabling. 

Fiber Cabling

• Fiber cables weigh far less than copper cables.
• Since fiber is dielectric, it is non-flammable. This is an important safety feature of fiber cabling.
• It has a higher bandwidth than copper. Therefore, it could carry approximately 31,000 calls at once!
