Data Cabling Overview

Data networks are being asked to do more than ever before. As technology continues to evolve, the corporate network must support voice, data, video and multimedia applications. The growing size of networks and the introduction of higher-speed access methods create an overwhelming need for reliable, manageable cabling systems.  Careful planning will prevent congestion that can dramatically diminish your network performance.

We are experienced and certified in several media including:

  • Category 3
  • Category 5e
  • Category 6
  • Category 6A
  • Fiber Optics

The design of the cabling solution should be done in conjunction with the design of the Local Area Network solution.  The two designs need to complement each other and the one is 100% dependent of the other.  The quality of the data cabling installation will determine the reliability of the entire data network.

Cable testing plays an important role in the process. Common tests for datacom cabling include length, wiremap, attenuation, NEXT, DC loop resistance, and return loss.  Cable testing provides a level of assurance that the installed cabling links provide the desired transmission capability to support the data communication desired by the users.

We invested in the tools and equipment necessary to comply with high level tests which can be classified into one of the three hierarchical groups: certification, qualification, or verification.
