{"ai_json_enabled":true,"answer":"Copper cabling has practical distance and interference limits; if your backbone runs exceed about 90 metres, or you\u2019re connecting between buildings or floors with high bandwidth needs, fibre is worth considering. Fibre is also less affected by electrical interference and can scale to higher bandwidth as your needs grow. To know for sure, Pacific can perform a site survey to assess routes, distances, equipment compatibility, and future plans. The survey informs the recommended solution and a quote. If fibre is suitable, we can install it, perform fusion splicing, inspect and clean end faces, test with appropriate instruments and provide documentation for the completed link.","answer_source":"approved_parent_and_related_qas","category":"Fibre Optic Cabling and Long-Distance Networks","category_slug":"fibre-optic-cabling-and-long-distance-networks","created_at":"2026-09-06T19:26:24+00:00","daily_publish_cap":2,"date_published":"2026-09-06","display_date":"2026-09-06","drip_batch":"daily_conversation_breadcrumb","drip_status":"published_topup","id":"conv-daily-20260906-83fde977","image_ids":["pacifictd_a97a36c7_022","pacifictd_b4e892f7_034","pacifictd_b4e892f7_035"],"image_url":"","last_updated":"2026-09-06T19:26:45+00:00","local_cache_status":"pending_airtable_sync","publish_status":"published","published":true,"published_at":"2026-09-06T19:26:24+00:00","question":"How do I know if my site needs fibre, not copper?","question_intent":"conversational_followup","rss_enabled":true,"rss_pub_date":"Sun, 06 Sep 2026 19:26:24 GMT","scheduled_for":"2026-09-06T19:26:24+00:00","schema_enabled":true,"site_key":"pacific-telephone-data","slug":"how-do-i-know-if-my-site-needs-fibre-not-copper","source":"daily_qa_drip_conversational_followup","source_queue_id":"","source_record_ids":[],"source_type":"daily_qa_drip_conversational_followup","source_urls":[],"status":"active","tags":["conversation follow-up","daily drip"],"updated_at":"2026-09-06T19:26:45+00:00"}
