Facts About Network Cabling



There is a sea change observed in the world in the way we shop, we work , we entertain, we travel, we entertain and even communicate. Technology has taken over and virtually everything is at our fingertips and communication has become even faster. Improvement, speed and implementation of technology has changed the ways of life with probably sky not being the limit either.

Network administrators have now realized that network cabling is one of the most important aspect of network designing.  For the overall success of the system, it is very important to choose  the right cabling as most of the networking equipments are installed in environments that are noise due to the motors, generators and other RFI emitting devices.

Infrastructure Cabling

With the very changing scenario in the network cabling world, what you install today may become obsolete in the next two years. Put the highest quality cabling, hardware and components to strengthen even the weakest link. Evolution of technology is leading to higher performance of cables where high speed application may require speeds as high as 622 mbps and more!!!

Growth in telecommunication technology

Just look back a few year ago and find how quickly telecommunication technology has changed. Network cabling installation should be based on past practices and re-valuation so as to use newer techniques and abandon the old ones. Copper and fiber cabling has become the foundation on which the information network are established. Today’s high performance cables are highly sensitive as compared to older voice and low speed data cables. External influences like electro magnetic interference, extreme variance in temperatures affect the performance of the cables.

Category of Cables

Category 5 cables is the minimum benchmark for the basic requirement for network needs.  ATM or asynchronous transfer mode is popularl because it provides a performance form 25 Mbps to 622 Mbps. ATM carries data, voice, videa and the switched technology avoids bandwith issues.
The fast Ethernet with 100Mbps speeds use category 5 UTP (unshielded twisted pair)  to mainly connect server farms an decidated ports where switching to high-bandwidth is required. The evolution of gigabytes will take some time to mature.

Conclusion

On the successful planning of the cabling infrastructure will depend the success of your organization. More than 70% of networking problems are due to faulty cabling and neglected network components.  Identify a company that knows its business of selecting the right cables required for your architectural network and efficiency of effectiveness of the compliance with the cabling network. Get the network cabling installation done from a company that not only identifies and installs but specializes in testing and labeling, removal of cables, security, IP telephony and access control system.
