Structured cabling

Cabling is the lifeline of your IT network, transmitting the voice, data, and video signals you depend on each day for your critical business activities. Your cabling system may be the smallest part of your network investment, but as the network component with the longest lifecycle, it can deliver significant long-lasting benefits.

Solutions tailored to your needs

Structured cabling solutions

Structured cabling solutions

Cabling solutions can vary substantially, depending on the size and type of building, the number of ports as well as the type of cabling required. Network Assistance Systems has a proven track record in the design and specification of a range of solutions. Our approach is to undertake all aspects of a structured cabling implementation from initial design, through project-managed installation, testing and validation. Our Cat 5e or Cat 6 solutions will exceed TIA standards, are 100% tested and come with a 25-year warranty.

Uncompromising performance

Independently verified screened and unscreened data communication structured cabling solutions, providing ultimate performance and reliability for today's and tomorrow’s copper infrastructure requirements. Todas las implementaciones son gestionadas por nuestros ingenieros acreditados. All implementations are managed by our accredited engineers.

Conventional cabling solutions

Conventional cabling complements the deployment of optical solutions deeper into the network, delivering a future-proof backbone of single-mode and multi-mode installations. Fiber optic, single-mode, or multi-mode is typically used for vertical cabling applications or inter-building links. Fiber optic solutions may also be implemented to overcome specific security concerns.

Intelligent infrastructure management solution

Our intelligent infrastructure provides full asset management for each and every device connected to a network. Using a combination of web-based software and intelligent hardware, allows for an unprecedented level of network visibility, connections, and physical location. This service brings the physical network layer into a single database streamlining documentation and reducing operational costs

FAQ

As in most cases in our technology driven world, we are always promised that faster is better. However, category 5e will in the vast majority of cases be perfectly acceptable to most business needs. Correctly installed systems will guarantee a throughput of 100Mbps backed by manufacturer’s warranties. In some cases throughput of 1000Mbps will be achieved. It is therefore imperative to understand your business requirement before making a decision. Category 6, if correctly installed and backed by warranty will guarantee 1000Mbps.

Copper structured cabling solutions are designed to work up to 100metres in length which includes all fly and patch leads. Going outside of these set lengths can lead to degradation in data rates, and in extreme cases can flood the network with retries causing slow network speeds. Multimodefibre solutions are better designed to work up to 2 Km in length. In a nutshell, the design and structure of the site will normally dictate the type of cable to be run.

All installations are accompanied by a complete set of test results for every cable. It is also helpful to have floor plans marked to show outlet positions.

Test results will show the “state” of the cable at time of installation, should there be a problem with any outlet in the future these test results allow a base line audit to take place.

There are no laid down rules for documentation, however, larger installations gain enormous benefits from having full installation plans, cabinet layouts, and patching charts. At the very minimum, a schematic diagram should be available in the event of network additions or for maintenance purposes.
