Not all connections are equal.
Coax vs. Fiber
Lear more about the differences between coax and fiber infrastructures.
Coax
Easy to install. Easy to locate. Relatively inexpensive.
Fiber
More reliable. Faster transmission. Low attenuation.
High Frequency
Made primarily of copper, a coaxial cable transmits data from place-to-place through electricity.
Easy Installation
Coaxial cable can be easily installed compared to fiber cable. Due to its basic hand hooks, jobs are completed without any complexities.
Less Expensive
Coaxial cable is less expensive. It has great flexibility, so it can easily to install and scaled as per need.
More Latency
Cable Internet is susceptible to latency, particularly when downloading or uploading video or high-definition content
Less Secure
Would-be hackers and information thieves can gain access to business cable Internet with relative ease, due to cable tapping or other relatively simple methodologies.
Strong Signal Strength
The signal strength of fiber optic Internet does not degrade as quickly over distance. Organizations in relatively large spaces could benefit from better signal strength throughout the facility.
Symmetrical Speed
“Symmetric speed” is a term used to refer to equal upload and download times on an Internet connection. With fiber Internet, your employees can benefit from equal upload and download times
Resistant to Interference
Unlike copper, fiber Internet signals do not degrade or disappear due to electromagnetic interference. If your organization shares a telecommunications room with other businesses, fiber-optic Internet can protect your connectivity from disappearing if other organizations are using equipment that can interfere with your connection in the same space.
More Complex Installation
Fiber-Optic cables are much more difficult to install and can easily get damaged during the process.
Availability Challenges
While fiber has grown in popularity due to its greater bandwidth and faster speeds, it is not available in all areas.
