Choosing the Right Fiber Patch Cable: A Quick Guide

Not all fiber cables are created equal—and the wrong choice could mean signal loss, mismatched connectors, or unnecessary costs.

In our latest blog, we walk you through how to choose the right fiber patch cables for your network, based on:
Single-mode vs. multimode: what’s the difference?
Connector types (LC, SC, MPO, etc.)
Fiber grades (OM3, OM4, OS2)
Length, jacket rating, and application fit

Make sure your cabling matches your performance needs—especially in high-density or high-speed environments.

I'm about to start wiring my home for ethernet -- from scratch -- brand-new installation, no existing infrastructure. Which do I use?

(PS: I know this is not a consequential decision. I'm just curious what the internet thinks.)

Part-timer (me) vs BT "engineer". Which is which?

My work isn't the neatest, but some of this supposedly professional work we've had done at this place is something else.

Party time. #StructuredCabling

We do a lot of structured cabling projects and one of the questions that comes up a lot is "What Was The Worst Project?" And in my over 25+ years of working in tech this project remains the winner. I did not make this video to just rant about what happened, but to educate on how we dealt with the situation and offer some lessons learned to help people that may find themselves in this situation.

And for thinking it's as simple as "Have A Clear Contract & Scope of Work" I will remind you of my favorite quote "No battle plan survives contact with the enemy."
