In a cabled network your cable is the foundation of your network. All the
software certifications in the world will not help you in the event of poor
network cabling. Any building in order to stand the test of time will need a
solid foundation. The rest of the building may be built with the best quality
and workmanship but because of the poor foundation the structure will have many
problems. Your network could be designed with the finest hardware and software
but without a solid cabling foundation eventually you will have network
failures.
We run, terminate, test and certify any cabling we install using Microtest
OMNIScanner2. We do not sub-contract. We use the finest patch systems, cable,
and jacks available. You will not have communication failures due to our
cabling. We use the proper cable for the situation.
For This type of network you will need:
Ethernet card in each computer Ethernet hub Router to share internet access Cat5e Plenum cable, and ends May also need-RJ45 Jacks, Surface Mount Wall
Boxes, and Patch Cables You may have to have holes drilled in floors or
walls depending on your home or office
We design a network cable scheme to optimize your system speed and efficiency.
When completed, the foundation of your network will be tested at every
termination, labeled, and certified with a certification report.
PowerLine Network
A PowerLine network is an alternative to a Cat5 cabled network. This network uses your existing
power lines in your home or business instead of Ethernet cable.
For this type of network you will need:
Ethernet card in each computer Router to share internet access PowerLine Adapter for each computer Patch cable to run from PowerLine Adapter to PC
This network has no difficulty with signals through floors
or walls as some wireless networks do. When comparing costs of the cabled
network and the PowerLine network-the Powerline network is more cost effective
in parts used and also labor hours to setup. Powerline does have a decrease in
transfer speeds compared to Cat5 when transferring across the network although
you should not notice this when on the internet.
Wireless Network
A wireless network
is a cable free network that uses a broadcasted signal to connect computers.
This type of network is great for laptops because of the freedom of full mobility
within an area.
For this type of network you will need:
Wireless network card in each computer Wireless Access Point Router Combo For a wider area you may need additional Access Points
This networks range
limit depends on the Access Point and environment. Walls, floors, and ceilings
between computers may cause a decrease in signal strength resulting in dropped
connections or lower transfer rates. Prices vary on wireless equipment from manufacturer
to manufacturer.
