Structured cabling is the nervous system of any modern commercial building. While the terms "structured cabling" and "low voltage cabling" are often used interchangeably, the concept is simple: data, voice, and video have to be transmitted reliably. Today, structured cabling also supports critical management systems like IP security cameras, access control doors, and even power (PoE).
Read MoreWe’ve all seen it: the tangled, spaghetti-like mess of cords hiding behind a desk. But when that mess migrates to a commercial server room or IT closet, it stops being a minor nuisance and becomes a major business liability.
From a small retail IT closet to a sprawling federal data center, proper cable management is the silent backbone of a reliable network.
Read MoreTechnology evolves rapidly. Your business's cabling infrastructure must match your needs. Choosing the best choice for your company may save time and money. Infrastructure normally lasts ten (10) years, and cabling may typically support three (3) generations of active electronic equipment.
Read MoreWhat happens if your cabling isn’t performing at full capacity? Simply put, your network suffers. Up to 50% of all LAN (Local Area Network) failures come from cabling issues. Most times the cable itself is not the problem, but how the cabling was installed and how the terminations were made.
Read MoreHigh performance data networks have become commonplace in today’s world, and have created a demand for appropriate cabling that can transmit faster speeds over longer distances….
Read MoreUnder the floor low voltage cabling reduces unsightly cables, but can have a higher total cost of ownership than overhead cabling. If you have the option of overhead or under the floor cabling for your low voltage cable, overhead cabling can offer as much as 24% energy savings over under-floor cabling give you more aesthetic leeway over flooring choices.
Read MoreLow Voltage Cabling, also known as “structured wiring” refers to the wiring and cabling infrastructure within your business that supports various technologies, such as your alarm, camera and access control systems. Cabling can sound complicated with multiple types, such as copper and fiber optic cabling, available. There are many options that your low voltage contractor will consider when deciding which materials to use for your low voltage installation.
Read Moreiber optic cables use light to transmit data - allowing them to carry signals at speeds fast than Cat5, Cat6, or copper cables (and with less signal degradation!) In fact, fiber carries signals at speeds only apx 30% slower than the speed of light.
