           Buyers Guide




 When you need Network Data Structured Cabling for your
business, there are a few things you need to know in order to
properly utilize the application of these communication tools.

 It always will prove useful to consult with professionals when
    looking to wire your building or office for voice and data
                            cabling.

Discussed here are five things you need to know about network
                and voice structured cabling.


First, for office cabling, it must first be determined what
exactly you need in terms of the uses for network cabling.

Do you need cabling for voice and do you require cabling for
data?
Do you use the internet in your business, as most do today, and
how many computers are in your network?

If there is more than one, it will require a network, with a
server and properly ventilated server room, in order for the
network computers to work together and give you efficiency in
the work place.

You may require video and data in your conference room.


Second, not all cabling is alike.

For telephone usage, a Cat (or category) 3 is common.

However, Cat5E is now the standard for phones for your
network.

Cat6 for your network data is used when very large files eg cad
drawings are being sent.

network cabling help.
Third, the type of cabling for network cabling and wiring in
your business varies in on of itself.

It’s important to consider what you can afford now, but also to
consider if it will be sufficient with room to grow.

It’s logical to purchase the most you can afford now, rather
than have to restructure and expend more costs later with an
upgrade.

Remember that technology is always growing.

Cat 3 is rarely used anymore with Cat5E being used for voice.

Cat 5E for fast Ethernet carries up to 100 Mbps.

Cat 5E cable is an enhanced version of Cat 5 that adds
specifications for far end crosstalk, and has superseded Cat 5
specification.
Category 6 is used for gigabit connections.

Most businesses chose Cat5E.

Note: Both Category 3 and Category 5 have a maximum
segment length of 100 meters.


Fourth, consider Plenum versus non-Plenum. Plenum Cabling
is structured cabling and is required by under building codes
for plenum commercial spaces.

Plenum rated cable has fire-resistant & slow burning casing
that emits very little smoke. The space between the structural
ceiling and the raised floor or under a dropped ceiling is
usually considered plenum. The plenum space is typically used
to house communication cables for a buildings telephone and
computer network, and allows for a cooling and ventilated
environment.

No high-voltage powered equipment is allowed in the plenum
space. It should be determined if your building by inquiring
with your building manager.


Fifth, when consider all the options and requirements to fit
your structured cabling needs, in order to have adequate office
wiring, the best results for the future growth of your business
is to utilize cabling installation for data and voice applications
at one time, rather than over a series of installations, which
will cut your costs.
Note: Locations or drops include employee workstations as
well as common area applications such as fax machines and
conference phones
