Yes. Adgo network panels can be configured for copper (Cat6 or Cat6A), fiber (multimode or single-mode), or a hybrid build, with media selected based on cable run distance, required bandwidth and electromagnetic interference exposure on the plant floor. Hybrid panels combine RJ45 patch fields with LC fiber distribution units in one enclosure.
Copper vs. fiber selection depends on distance, EMI and bandwidth. A network panel build accounts for both media within a single enclosure when needed.
- Cat6/Cat6A copper: Supports 1 Gbps up to 100 m and 10 Gbps over Cat6A up to 100 m. Standard for short-run device drops.
- Multimode fiber (OM3/OM4): Supports 10 Gbps up to roughly 300–400 m. Used for cross-building runs that exceed copper’s reach.
- Single-mode fiber (OS2): Supports long-haul links between buildings or remote stations, typically up to several kilometers.
- EMI immunity: Fiber is dielectric and immune to interference, which matters next to variable frequency drives and large motor loads.
- If/then: If a run exceeds 100 m or crosses a high-EMI environment, then the network panel specification calls for fiber distribution units (FDUs) and media converters in place of copper.
