Gigabit Ethernet

What's a Gigabit network?

In short, Gigabit Ethernet Networks (GbE or 1 GigE) allow transfers of Ethernet packets at a rate of a gigabit per second.

Kontech delivers professional and affordable Gigabit Ethernet installations over category 5e (Cat5e), category 6 (Cat6) cable for data network infrastructures in both commercial and residential facilities.

Already have Cat5 cable installed? No problem. Gigabit Ethernet can be installed over copper wiring. It requires, at a minimum, Category 5 cable, but Category 5e (enhanced) and Category 6 cable are commonly recommended industry standard.

However, as Gigabit Ethernet is much less tolerant of poorly installed wiring than 100BASE-TX and requires all four pairs to be present it is crucial that all of preexisting Cat5e data lines are thoroughly tested and certified to make certain that your Cat5e wiring is capable of handling and operating at proper transmission speeds. This is where we Kontech comes in to make that sure your existing cable infrastructure can handle the gigabit speeds right down to the patch cable level.

Using state of the art technology by Fluke Networks we can certify your facility cabling. Copper certification tester guarantees cabling installations comply with TIA/ISO standards and it significantly reduces total time to certify by improving every aspect of the testing process. This tool allows to accurately measure cabling performance and Alien Crosstalk, as well as multiple error correction requests - common cause of slowness at workstations and backbone connection levels.
