Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about NBN, fibre optic, structured cabling, Starlink, internet repairs and IT field support.

If you mean NBN-approved armoured internal fibre optic cable, it can be a better option for some installations because it gives the fibre extra mechanical protection compared with standard indoor fibre.

Why armoured internal fibre can be better:
  • πŸ›‘οΈ Better protection from crushing, impact and accidental damage.
  • πŸ”§ Useful for exposed runs through garages, plant rooms, commercial areas and risers.
  • πŸ€ Depending on construction, it can provide additional protection against rodents.
  • πŸ“ In some applications, it can reduce reliance on additional mechanical protection.
  • πŸ”„ Provides better long-term durability where future building or maintenance work could expose the cable.
  • πŸ’‘ Armouring does not increase fibre optical speed. Its benefit is physical protection and reliability, not bandwidth.

β€œArmoured” does not automatically mean NBN-compliant. The particular cable needs to meet the applicable NBN requirements/specification for the type of internal installation.

Mr Data Cabler services Melbourne metropolitan and surrounding areas, including northern, western, eastern and south-eastern suburbs.

A bridge tap is an unwanted extra branch of copper telephone cable connected to a DSL/NBN copper line but not connected to an active service or termination.

Effects of a bridge tap include:
  • Lower VDSL/ADSL speed
  • Higher attenuation
  • Increased noise
  • Poor SNR
  • Dropouts or unstable sync
  • Signal reflection issues
  • Reduced FTTN/FTTC copper performance

A bridge tap can often be identified using TDR/DSL test equipment. Bridge taps are primarily a copper-pair issue and are not normally an issue with a properly installed fibre-optic connection.

For a warehouse, industrial-grade OS2 single-mode fibre is generally recommended for long runs or installations intended to remain useful for many years.

  • Short indoor network runs: OM3/OM4 multimode
  • Long runs between warehouse buildings: OS2 single-mode
  • High-traffic forklift/plant areas: Armoured fibre or fibre in suitable conduit
  • Fibre exposed to machinery/impact: Armoured OS2
  • Outdoor-to-indoor: Outdoor-rated OS2 transitioned correctly to indoor-rated cable
  • CCTV network: OS2 single-mode

A typical commercial warehouse setup can use OS2 9/125 Β΅m single-mode, LSZH, armoured fibre in conduit where mechanical protection is required.

Mr Data Cabler provides NBN installation, troubleshooting and repair services including internal cabling, internet and sync issues, fibre optic work and commercial network maintenance.

Fibre services include installation, fusion splicing, OTDR testing, fault detection and fibre repairs.

For faults in the external NBN network itself, customers should contact their internet provider, who can troubleshoot and lodge a fault with NBN where necessary.

Mr Data Cabler offers more than basic data-point installation and can provide telecommunications and network infrastructure services.

  • NBN and fibre services
  • Fibre fusion and ribbon splicing
  • OTDR testing and fibre fault finding
  • Commercial and industrial network work

Starlink can be a useful alternative to NBN, particularly where an NBN connection is slow, unreliable, unavailable, or the property is difficult to service.

  • Satellite connection instead of fixed-line infrastructure
  • Useful for rural properties, farms, sheds and construction sites
  • Quick deployment
  • Useful for remote sites
  • Can be combined with Wi-Fi, Ethernet, mesh and point-to-point wireless
  • Business options are available
  • Portable options are available

Starlink is not automatically better than NBN. Where good FTTP NBN is available, fibre generally provides a stable fixed connection without dependence on satellite visibility.

Usually no. Fibre optic is generally faster than Starlink, especially with good NBN FTTP fibre.

  • Starlink download: ~100–300+ Mbps commonly
  • Fibre download: 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps+ depending on service
  • Starlink upload: ~10–30+ Mbps commonly
  • Fibre upload: Up to hundreds of Mbps or 1 Gbps depending on service
  • Starlink latency: ~25–60 ms
  • Fibre latency: ~5–15 ms

Starlink's major advantage is availability for remote, rural, construction or temporary sites where wired broadband is poor or unavailable.

MDF jumpering is the process of connecting a customer's telephone or DSL service to the appropriate MDF (Main Distribution Frame) termination point using a jumper wire.

A technician typically:
  1. Identifies the incoming service pair on the MDF.
  2. Identifies the customer's outgoing pair.
  3. Installs a suitable jumper wire.
  4. Terminates and labels the connections.
  5. Tests continuity, polarity and applicable DSL/NBN performance.

MDF jumpering is common in apartment buildings, commercial buildings, offices, older residential complexes, telco rooms and NBN FTTB/FTTN environments.

An open circuit means there is a break somewhere in the electrical/copper path, so the signal cannot travel from one end to the other.

Mr Data Cabler can troubleshoot and repair many types of open-circuit faults in customer-side telecommunications cabling.

Common causes include:
  • Broken or damaged cable
  • Loose termination
  • Poor MDF connection
  • Damaged wall socket
  • Cable cut during building work
  • Corrosion or water damage
  • Damaged underground/lead-in cable
  • Incorrect termination or jumper

A technician can test the cable pair, locate the open circuit, check MDF and termination points, repair or re-terminate the damaged section, replace cable where necessary and test the service after repair.

NBN in Australia uses several different access technologies. The main difference is what carries the connection from the NBN network to the customer's premises.

  • FTTP: Fibre all the way to the property.
  • FTTC: Fibre to the neighbourhood node/curb plus copper.
  • FTTN: Fibre to the street node plus copper.
  • FTTB: Fibre to the building plus internal copper.
  • HFC: Fibre to the coaxial network plus coax to the premises.
  • Fixed Wireless: Radio link from tower to customer antenna.
  • Satellite: Satellite connection to a customer dish.

For cabling technicians, the technology matters because the fault-finding approach is different. FTTN faults may involve copper pairs, MDF, bridge taps or internal cabling, while FTTP faults may involve fibre, NTD, optical levels or customer Ethernet networks.

Internet dropouts can come from different parts of the connection, so the right person to fix them depends on where the fault is.

Common causes:
  • Faulty or poor NBN internal cabling
  • Damaged copper pair on FTTN/FTTB
  • Bridge tap or bad MDF jumper
  • Loose or corroded termination
  • Damaged fibre or fibre connection
  • Faulty NBN connection box/NTD
  • Router/Wi-Fi problems
  • ISP/network fault
  • NBN network fault

First contact your internet provider. If the provider suspects the problem is inside the premises/building cabling, a registered cabler such as Mr Data Cabler can investigate the physical cabling.

A technician can test the path from MDF to copper/fibre cable to wall outlet/NTD to router and identify issues such as open circuits, poor termination, bridge taps, high resistance or fibre faults.
