Learn About Fiber Optic Cabling Types
While fiber optics are becoming increasingly integrated into commercial spaces because of its advantages over traditional cabling types, it’s important to recognize that not all fiber optic cabling is made the same. Depending on your needs as a business, and what type of commercial workspace the fiber optic cabling network is being installed into, different types of fiber optic cables may be more advantageous. Below are the different fiber optic types commonly used in commercial settings:
Single-Mode Fiber Optics Wiring
Single-mode fiber optics are perfect for carrying a small amount of data across long distances as, inside the cable, the core is small, only holding enough fibers to contain a single mode. This single mode does not have many reflections, which lowers attenuation. The benefit of this is that it can transfer data and information across long distances.
Multi-Mode Fiber Optics Wiring
This type of fiber optics wiring contains a large core where multiple modes of light can reflect and pass through. As reflections increase, more data can pass through at any point in time. This raises the dispersion and attenuation rate, allowing more data transfer but shortens the distance it can be transferred without losing quality. This is perfect for short-distance data/audio/video applications.

Network Cabling FAQ
Do Electricians Do Network Cabling?

What’s the Typical Cost of a Network Cable Installation?
Depending on how extensive the network installation is, the cost of installation can vary. For example, a commercial project for a new structure wiring 1200 office spaces inside a single building suite will cost significantly more than a single-office building.
The installation cost may also vary depending on what type of network cabling you need installed. For example, cable networking is typically less expensive than the longer-lasting and better-performing fiber optics network.

What is the Most Common Network Cabling Type?
In most cases, and in our experience as electricians in the Rochester region, the most common network cabling type is twisted-pair cabling. This type of cabling utilizes a pair of copper wires twisted together to transfer signals from one place to another.
We find that there are also a lot of local networks set up with coaxial cabling. Considered to be more weather resistant, coaxial cabling includes an inner conductor at the center of the wire. This wire is then surrounded by a range of insulation and copper mesh, protecting the connectors from damage.
Both types of cabling are slowly fading out, however, in favor of faster network options such as fiber optic cabling.
Fiber optics are most known for their ability to transmit light (which is the optical part of the cable) but they can also be used to great efficiency in sending network signals over a longer distance. These cables contain strands of glass fibers inside an insulated casing.
