What is structured cabling and how does it work in Malaysia?

Structured cabling is a set of standards that determine how to wire a facility for connectivity to support communications between various applications and systems. It's designed to lay cabling in a star formation, where all outlets terminate at a central Data Center. This allows voice, data, and video signals to be transmitted throughout commercial or residential environments. Structured cabling in Malaysia must comply with EIA/TIA, IEEE, BICSI, and local building codes.

What are the benefits of structured cabling systems for Malaysian businesses?

Structured cabling offers several advantages: it supports voice, data, and video transmission simultaneously, provides organized and manageable cable routing, allows data transfer speeds up to 10G to the desktop, ensures scalability for future upgrades, reduces installation time and costs, improves network reliability, and makes troubleshooting easier. It's ideal for offices, shopping malls, hospitals, and data centers across Malaysia.

What's the difference between structured cabling and traditional copper wiring in Malaysia?

Structured cabling systems use both copper and fiber optic cables in a standardized format. Fiber optic cabling, our preferred solution, offers significant advantages: fiber optic cables transmit data faster and over longer distances than copper wires, cost about 1% to transmit voice over fiber compared to copper, take up less physical space, are easier to install, and are immune to electromagnetic interference. For Malaysian businesses, fiber optic is increasingly the standard for new installations.

Is fiber optic cabling mandatory for new buildings in Malaysia?

Yes. All new residential and commercial constructions in Malaysia are now required to have Fiber to the Home (FTTH) infrastructure. FTTH is a broadband network architecture using optical fiber to provide telecommunications services to residents and commercial customers. It supports voice, data, and video services on a single strand of fiber, making it the most efficient and future-proof solution for Malaysian properties.

How long does it take to install structured cabling in Malaysia?

Installation timeline depends on the project scope: the size of your facility, complexity of the network design, number of outlets needed, and accessibility of cable routes. We provide detailed engineering and planning before installation begins to minimize disruption. Contact us with your project specifications, and we'll provide an accurate timeline during the free quote consultation.

What standards does DEC Contract's structured cabling comply with?

Our structured cabling systems in Malaysia adhere to EIA/TIA (Electronics Industry Alliance/Telecommunications Industry Association), IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers), BICSI (Building Industry Consulting Service International), and local Malaysian building codes. Our team is trained and qualified to ensure all work meets industry guidelines and safety standards for commercial and industrial applications.

Structured & Data cabling

Structured Cabling is a set of standards that determine how to wire a facility for connectivity to support communications between various applications and systems. These standards define how to lay the cabling in a star formation, such that all outlets terminate at a central Data Center, from where it can be determined exactly how these connections will be used. Structured Cabling is designed to carry voice, data and video signals throughout a commercial or residential environment. Our capabilities enable us to provide voice/data/video cabling systems transmitting up to 10G to the desktop to data center infrastructure services that include detailed engineering to complete installation build. We adhere to EIA/TIA, IEEE, BICSI, and Local codes and standards.

Fiber Optic cabling & Fiber to the Home (FTTH)

As technology improves and demands to do more work with less money and resources in the enterprise or demand for faster bandwidths in the data centre or users, the solution is provided by Fibre Optic networks such as Storage Area Network, fiber trunking and HHTP Passive Optical Networks. With Fibre Optic, not only will you save money over copper wires, but they’re also easier to install and take up less space.

However, FTTH is a broadband network architecture using optical fiber to provide all or part of the local loop used for last-mile telecommunications by Service Providers to residents or commercial customers. The cost of transmitting a single phone conversation over fiber optics is only about 1% of the cost of transmitting it over copper wire. The biggest advantage of optical fiber is that it is truly a Multimedia platform and it supports not just only voice services but also data and video on just a single strand of fiber.

All new residential and commercial constructions are now required to have FTTH.

Earthing System

An electrical installation’s earthing system determines how a power supply’s (usually a transformer) neutral is connected to the earth. Earthing systems were developed decades ago to protect people and property and fix the potential reference for the electrical source. In terms of electromagnetic compatibility, the different earthing systems can cause disturbances or overvoltages. This is why it is important to choose the right earthing system when designing an electrical installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main benefits of fiber optic cable installation for Malaysian companies?

Fiber optic cables offer significant advantages: data transfers at much faster speeds than traditional copper cables, internet connectivity is significantly faster, improves overall company efficiency and productivity, reduces downtime and system delays, and enables faster customer response times. For modern businesses in Malaysia relying on online data and cloud services, fiber optic installation is essential for competitive advantage.

What's the difference between multimode and single-mode fiber optic cables?

We provide two main types of fiber optic cables: Multimode cables are ideal for office spaces and shorter distances. They use a larger core and leverage lower-cost LED and VCSEL technologies operating in the 850nm window, making them cost-effective for corporate environments. Single-mode fiber optic cables are designed for long-distance applications up to 100 km, typically used in telecommunications, Cable TV, and telephony applications where maximum distance and bandwidth are required.

Which type of fiber optic cable should we install in our office?

For most office environments, multimode fiber optic cables are the recommended choice. They provide faster data transmission through a larger core, work with cost-effective LED technology, and are ideal for internal company networks. However, the best choice depends on your office size, distance between locations, and specific bandwidth needs. Our fiber optic cable installation contractors can assess your office setup and recommend the optimal solution during a free consultation.
