Network Cable Installations

Copper - Cat5, 5E & 6      Fibre Optic/Wireless LAN & WAN

A Structured Cable Program for a variety of high performance cable solutions improving the return on your IT investment with a 25 year warranty.

What you really need to know about network cabling:

The Industry Standards: To guarantee that network cable transmissions are running efficiently and effectively, the industry bodies (TIA/EIA, ISO/IEC & BS EN) set standards. All cable installations must be certified to these standards, via testing after installation. Once completed the test results should pass these standards and be given to you.

The Design: The design of your network structure is very important. Without a structured design, problems such as interference, future growth, new technology and management start to become an economic issue. Guided again by industry standards a proper design will help ensure that the cabling system will be application independent, reduce long term building operation costs and last more than ten years.

The Installation: Installing a few cables may sound easy, but when important business data has to travel at its highest speed, how the cable is laid, where it is most susceptible and how it is terminated will dictate performance. Cable and installations do have determined guidelines by manufacturer and industry standards. Tip: Always use a certified installer.

The Testing: Even though data may be sent and received through the cable, at what rate does it travel? Do the transmissions comply with the industry standards? Only by testing the completed installation will this be known. Again look for a certified installer, this guarantees that testing standards are industry set.
