What do network cabling services include?
Network and structural cabling systems are critical for a company to run smoothly. You can set up a perfect IT infrastructure but without a well-laid network of cables, it's useless. Network wiring is usually one of the most cost-effective elements of your system and done correctly can be the biggest bang for the buck.
Cabling systems need to have correct design, installation, and maintenance to keep your business systems streamlined. Poorly designed cables can make expansion and maintenance difficult, both of which could threaten the functionality of your entire network system.

Advantages of fiber optic technology include:
- More reliable than cable internet
- Fiber optic transmission is faster
