Backbone
MDF to IDF
Fiber between the main data room and each telecom closet or floor.
Fiber optics
Fiber for the backbone. Copper for the edge.
Single-mode and multimode fiber for backbones, risers, data rooms, and building-to-building links. Every strand terminated, tested, and documented.

QACopper vs fiber
Most networks need both.
Fiber: distance and bandwidth between floors, buildings, and data rooms. Copper: data and PoE to devices. Both terminated and tested.
- Single-mode and multimode fiber installation
- Indoor, riser, and building-to-building runs
- Fiber enclosures, patch panels, and connectors
- Testing with results documented for every strand

Smart hands →FAQ
Fiber questions.
Send distances and devices; we recommend the fiber type.
Single-mode or multimode?
Multimode: shorter in-building runs such as risers and data rooms. Single-mode: longer distances and building-to-building links. Choice depends on distance and the equipment on each end.
Do you terminate and test the fiber?
Yes. We install enclosures and connectors and test every strand, with results documented at close-out.
Do you also install the copper?
Yes. Cat6 and Cat6A are our primary copper cabling. See Structured Cabling.

Need fiber between rooms, floors, or buildings?
Send endpoints and distances. We send a fiber scope.
