The
efficiency, reliability and performance of network cabling infrastructure in an
organization will have a direct impact on the performance and productivity of a
business. The installation of structured cabling system in an organization is
an area where the decision makers should not compromise on quality and
performance to save a few dollars. It can cost more money in the future to
test, repair or replace the existing cabling. Any problem in the network can
result in the interruption of the business process and so it’s very essential
to take all measures to reduce outages in the implementation stage itself.
To install a structured cabling
infrastructure there should be 6 cabling subsystems. First thing is the
entrance facilities which include the building interfaces and the devices room.
Horizontal cabling connects the telecommunication equipments to the workstation
outlets. The end-user equipments are connected to the outlets coming from
horizontal cabling system using the work-area components. The user equipments
like computers, printers, phones, etc. are connected to the work-area outlets
using the Patch cables which should be less than 16 feet in length. Patch
cables are also used to connect network switches to patch panels. The boxes
like network racks or cabinets can protect the fibre optic strands from getting
damaged at their end points.
Reducing Network downtimes saves money:
Network downtime is a serious issue
that causes a major loss for any public organisation. Nowadays nearly all works
are processed and performed depending on LAN and so when network downtime
occurs nobody can work anymore and most business operations are interrupted. Cable
management can provide a clean environment and extends the cable life and its
performance.
Improves the reliability of the network:
The
main reasons behind every network downtime are low quality cabling components,
connectors and non-professional installations. As the cabling infrastructures
become more and more complex, more time is required for finding the reason and
also to repair it. Cabling not included under network management may require
very difficult and time consuming trouble-shooting.
Structured cabling makes the network system future
proof:
Once network cables are installed in a
structured manner using quality products changes and upgradations can be easily
added to the system. When the business develops or when a new plan is
implemented, devices can be easily added to the network without having to seek
the help of a technician. Whether it’s an individual changing desks or an
entire department moving floors, they can simply plug-in and get back to work
straight.
Improves flexibility:
Replace
multiple wiring systems with a single wiring system. Unified infrastructure can
carry data in any format and as a result a single socket can be used to connect
different network devices by simply plugging in the desired adapter to the
socket.
Only specialized and experienced professionals can
guarantee high quality network solution:
Today
there are a lot of companies who provides network cabling design,
implementation and maintenance. Professional planning, installation and design
along with usage of high quality products can result in high quality network
solution. Selection of a competent company is a very important decision to take.
The company should be trained and certified by any international manufacturers
which show good results for previous works. Selecting cheapest company is not a
best solution. Low installation costs can only be reached by not meeting all
the requirements for a quality network solution.
Better
communication is critical for success. With proper structured networks
information can be accessed faster and efficiently. Each business has different
requirements. So it’s wise to install the networking solution using
professional help and guidance from experienced ones.
