How a Quality Network Cabling can Make your Business run Faster

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.
