Fibre optic prices are up 40% with lead times extending into 2027. AI data centres, 5G rollouts, defence demand, and raw material shortages (helium +150%, silicon tetrachloride +55%) are driving the crunch. Learn what's behind the market pressures and discover practical steps—including forward ordering and design flexibility—to protect your projects.

We’re pleased to offer the Corning Evolv® Openable Terminal (EOT) – a 2-in-1 solution that combines a fibre terminal and splice closure in a single, compact unit.

Designed to simplify FTTx deployments, the Evolv Openable Terminal reduces component count, cuts installation time, and lowers overall costs. Its innovative design has been recognised with the iF Design Award 2026 in the Telecommunications category.

Wireless offers convenience, but when it comes to LAN infrastructure, building management systems, and security, hardwired cabling delivers unmatched reliability. From AV over IP and lighting control to CCTV and access control, a structured cabling solution ensures consistent performance, immunity to interference, and true future-proofing. Discover why copper and fibre remain the gold standard for commercial and residential properties.

The relationship between copper and fibre technologies is subtly shaded. There are many real-world applications where copper continues to excel. The key is to identify the factors that should drive your copper or fibre technology' decisions. From Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications that only copper can support to cost-driven applications where copper's competitiveness is obvious, this blog demonstrates why the future belongs to intelligent technology integration rather than wholesale replacement

Technology continues to advance rapidly, and today's ethernet cable decisions will impact your network's capabilities for years to come. Remote working, IoT devices, 4K/8K video content, and cloud-based applications all drive increasing bandwidth demands. Webro's ethernet cables are designed to support not just today's requirements, but tomorrow's opportunities. Whether you choose Cat 6 for cost-effective upgrades, Cat 6A for comprehensive future-proofing, or Cat 7 for maximum performance, you can trust Webro to deliver the quality and expertise your projects demand.

Cable choice matters when lives are on the line.  In the event of a fire, the cables installed within a building can either be silent heroes that help save lives, or unwitting contributors to tragedy. This is precisely why the Construction Products Regulation (CPR) exists. Choosing the right cable classification has never been more critical. This Understanding Higher Class CPR cables' guide provides useful tips on making the right cable choices.

In today's interconnected world, cables are the backbone of modern infrastructure. From fibre optics powering our internet to fire-resistant wiring ensuring safety in commercial buildings, selecting the right cable manufacturer isn't just a procurement decision, it's a strategic business choice that impacts performance, safety, and long-term success.

The choice between fibre optic and coaxial cabling ultimately represents a strategic decision balancing performance needs, budget constraints, and long-term planning. While fibre offers superior bandwidth, distance capabilities, security, and future-proofing potential, coaxial provides accessibility, compatibility with legacy systems, and potentially lower initial costs for certain applications.

Understand how to avoid costly cable installation mistakes by doing things right first time’  to deliver reduced maintenance costs, improved system reliability, and enhanced professional reputation.
