Installation And Cabling Network Guide

By Toni Vang


Cabling is a system which involves the installation of cables for efficient and automatic transfer of network information. The cables are used for Local Area Network or LAN. Different kinds of cable like UTPs, STPs, WLANs, Coaxial, and Fiber Optics can be used to access the LAN. These can be installed individually or combined with one another depending on the network requirements.

Among these, the UTP is more in demand because it is affordable and is the most commonly used in various networks. These have different speeds according to classification. Cabling Austin, TX uses various cable types to provide your network needs. They are on standby for service calls especially with internet networks.

The UTPs, even if they are very affordable and easy to install, are likely to be interfered by electrical devices. Hence, STPs can be a good support. Like UTPs, these also contain twisted wires that are paired. But these are more expensive than UTPs because they are more capable of overcoming interferences.

UTPs are also twisted paired wires like STPs. These are less expensive, however, and more popular. The reason why it is so popular is because its installation is fast and easy. UTPs do not have the capacity to block interferences unlike STPs.

Fiber Optics are efficient in reaching a wider coverage. This is very ideal for large organisations or companies. This contains numerous small cables and wires which connect to the Ethernet. The reception is very fast so the transmission of messages from one network to another happens to be so fast. It has a speed that is as fast as a bullet and enables fast transactions.

Coaxial cables contain copper inside which is the main material that catches electricity and signals. This is efficient in schools and offices. These can be combined with other cables like STPs and UTPs. Coaxial may be thin or thick but both are relatively difficult to install, especially the thick ones because they do not bend.

The installation of any of these types has to be done based on the guidelines to ensure efficiency. It is advisable that the cables are extra long. Installers must be three feet away from electronic devices to avoid interferences of signals. These sources of electrical interference may disrupt configuration processes. Moreover, it may delay the installation process as well.

In addition, it is important to do some test before final installation. The network must be tested first and if found to have some defects, must be fixed as soon as possible before installation resumes. Then, protectors must be used as they can be sensitive. This will also prevent potential signal interference.

The opposite ends should be labeled and tied. Tapes are not advised to use in this part as they may not be as strong and dependable as ties. This is done so that no one will trip over the lines that are mostly extra long as recommended in the first guideline.
