Network Cabling

Structured Cabling

No matter how your network grows throughout its life span, a structured cabling system is essential for network reliability and integrity. Businesses today require advanced information technology to maintain a competitive advantage. With evolving technology, your network must support voice, data, video and multimedia applications. The growing size of networks and the introduction of high speed access methods create an overwhelming need for a reliable and manageable cabling system. Careful planning and expert installation will prevent congestion that can dramatically diminish your network performance.

Designed to accommodate frequent moves, additions and changes, a structured cabling system is the foundation of the modern information network. Through all the changes and challenges that confront your business, a structured cabling system can alleviate the workflow disruption and network downtime associated with office restructuring. No other component in your network has a longer life cycle or requires such close consideration. A structured cabling system provides a universal platform upon which an overall information system's strategy is built. With a flexible cabling infrastructure, a structured cabling system can support multiple voice, data, video, and multimedia systems regardless of their manufacturer. A well-designed cabling plant may include several independent cabling solutions of different media types, installed at each workstation to support multiple system performance requirements.

Copper Solutions - The Enhanced Cat 5 (Cat 5e) and Cat 6 solutions ensure your cabling system's ability to support the application performance you expect. BizPhones can provide a Cat 5e, or a Cat 6, solution that will exceed TIA/EIA performance requirements and give your network an edge today and in the future. The structured cabling market always moves at incredible speeds, introducing new designs and emerging standards before the old ones are obsolete. Bizphones.net partners with leading-edge manufacturers to offer solutions that will grow with your business while future-proofing your cabling infrastructure.

Fiber Optic Solutions - For maximum versatility and durability, a fiber optic cabling solution can be implemented into your network. Fiber offers speed and reliability from the building entrance to the desktop, whether it is in the office or on the factory floor. Fiber cable also provides greater bandwidth and longer transmission distances while improving the overall efficiency of your network. A fiber optic solution in your building or campus environment provides a secure link for your multiple application network.

The structured cabling infrastructure is designed to be relatively independent of the voice/video/data network that uses it so that either can be updated with a minimum of rework to the cable plant. As an investment, structured cabling provides exceptional returns. A structured cabling system will outlive all other networking components. It requires minimal upgrades--and ultimately saves your business both time and money. While you pay a little more up-front for the extra cabling, you save tremendously by foregoing the labor cost of pulling addition wire. Structured cabling has a number of advantages:

Consistency - A structured cabling system means the same cables exist everywhere in the building. You'll know what to expect instead of encountering layers of old cabling with unknown destinations.

Support for multi-vendor equipment - A standards-based cable plant will support your applications and hardware even after you change or mix & match vendors. Upgrading will be highly simplified.

Simplify moves/adds/changes - People and equipment are constantly moving locations. With structured cabling, the network resources are always there and ready to go. There's no waiting for someone to make a drop in a new room.

Simplify troubleshooting - Even cables that were installed correctly can fail -- and they do. With a structured wiring system, problems are easier to isolate, easier to fix, and less likely to down the entire network.

Support for future applications - If you install a Cat 5E, or even Cat 6 compliant system, your cable plant will support future applications with little if any system upgrades.

BizPhones can plan and install a structured cabling system that will grow with your company for many years. Choosing the right cabling system is critical for performance as well as reliability. We can work with you to design a structured cabling system that will accommodate all of your low-voltage cabling, including network, video, and voice.    

Fiber Optic Cabling

Fiber optic cable symbolizes the pinnacle of high-speed data communication mediums.

Today's low-loss glass fiber optic cable provides almost unlimited bandwidth and unique advantages over all previously developed transmission media. Fiber optic transmission systems provide benefits that traditional copper wire or coaxial cable cannot, including:

• Corrosion Resistant - Basic fiber is made of glass; therefore, it will not corrode and is unaffected by most chemicals. It can be buried directly in most kinds of soil or exposed to most corrosive atmospheres in chemical plants without significant concern.
  
  
• Faster than Copper - Fiber optic cable supports higher data rates, and at greater distances, than coaxial cable; therefore, it is ideal for transmission of serial digital data.
  
  
• Higher Capacity - The capability to carry more information and deliver it with greater fidelity than copper wire or coaxial cable.
  
  
• Immune to Standard Interference - The fiber is totally immune to virtually all kinds of interference, including lightning, and will not conduct electricity. It can therefore come in direct contact with high voltage electrical equipment and power lines. It also does not create ground loops of any kind.
  
  
• Perfect for Hazardous Areas - There is no possibility of a spark from a broken fiber because the only carrier in the fiber is light. Even in the most explosive of atmospheres. The fiber cabling is not fire hazardous and presents no danger of electrical shock to personnel repairing broken fibers.
  
  
• Smaller Cable - A fiber optic cable, even one that contains many fibers, is usually smaller and lighter in weight than a wire or coaxial cable with similar information carrying capacity. It uses less duct space and is easier to handle and install. (It can frequently be installed without ducts.)
  
  
• Secure – Because it is very difficult to tap but very easy to monitor, fiber optic cable is ideal for secure communications systems. Furthermore, there is absolutely no electrical radiation from a fiber.
  
  
• Unaffected by Weather - Fiber optic cables are typically unaffected by outdoor atmospheric conditions, which allows them to be lashed directly to telephone poles or existing electrical cables without concern for extraneous signal pickup.

BizPhones can install your fiber optic cabling.

No matter what you’re looking for in terms of fiber cabling, whether it be multimode or single mode fiber, Bizphones.net can provide fiber solutions to meet all of your company’s needs.
