Ethernet, Cat6 and Fibre Network Cables for Canadian Businesses

Frequently asked questions

Which Ethernet cable category should my business choose?

Match the cable to your network gear. Cat5e handles gigabit connections, Cat6 adds headroom, and Cat6a carries 10 gigabit Ethernet over full 100-metre runs. If you are cabling a new space, a higher category spares you from re-cabling when the switches are upgraded. List your switch models in your quote request and your account manager will price cable that matches them.

What length of patch cable should I order?

Measure the actual route, including bends and slack, not the straight-line distance. Short patch cables keep racks clean, while longer ones suit desk-to-wall-jack runs. Permanent runs inside walls and ceilings are usually done with bulk solid cable terminated at jacks and panels, with patch cables at each end. Ordering standard lengths in set colours makes the network easier to read later.

Do you carry fibre and direct-attach cables for switches and servers?

Yes. Alongside copper Ethernet, the range includes multimode fibre patch cables with LC connectors and direct-attach copper cables in SFP28 and QSFP+ formats for short, high-speed links inside the rack. Check that the connector and speed match the ports and transceivers on both ends. Include your switch and server models in your quote request.

Are your cables genuine, and can we order in French?

Every cable we supply is genuine product with a valid manufacturer warranty, sourced through authorized channels and never grey market. Our bilingual team quotes in English or French. Send the categories, lengths, colours and quantities in one request, and a knowledgeable Canadian account manager returns a competitive CAD quote, usually within hours. Orders ship within Canada.
