Your network can only perform as much as your data cabling allows, so choosing a data cable with specifications that will support these transmissions is vital. When it comes to wireless networks, ensuring a reliable, clean, and speedy connection between switches and access points is especially important. With hundreds of devices often connecting to a single AP, it is – in part – the quality of your data cabling that determines whether the performance promised by your switches and access points reaches the end user or device.
Poor quality data cabling – or the wrong specification for your requirements – results in increased interference, slower or interrupted packet delivery, intermittent connectivity, and ultimately worse performance for the end user or device. It is, therefore, essential that you make an informed and well-advised choice when it comes to choosing the right data cables for your organization.
The type of cabling you need will depend on the technology you want to connect to your network, the environment and construction of your workplace (indoor/outdoor, underground, building type), as well as your budget. You also need to consider your future requirements; your network is constantly evolving as technology advances, so your data cabling needs to be able to support tomorrow’s bandwidth and throughput demands.
Network switches are the foundation of any business or educational network and are expected to last anywhere from five to ten years or more. With today’s modern networks, switches must be highly reliable, easy to manage at scale, and compatible with the latest technologies for supporting your network as it grows.
There are many components to installing and maintaining a healthy switching network, and each requires dedicated resources. We provide cloud networking technologies as these can drastically reduce the amount of time and effort required to maintain a modern network while still providing a secure, efficient, and reliable solution. We provide zero-touch cloud provisioning solutions that deliver low total cost of ownership as they reduce the costs associated with configuration and recover the costs of a network refresh over the lifetime of the deployment.
We offer a wide range of copper and fiber cables including CAT 5E, CAT 6, CAT 6A, CAT 7, CAT 7A & fiber optic cabling.
Our audits provide a full assessment of your hardware, enabling you to see where your data cables are impacting network performance.
