Good cabling is invisible; bad cabling causes problems for years. Whether you are opening a new office, clinic or retail store, a little planning up front saves expensive rework later.
Start by listing every device that needs a wired connection, then use the checklist below to plan the job.
Plan the drops
Cat6 handles most office and retail needs today. Cat6A is worth considering for longer runs, Wi-Fi access points and spaces you expect to upgrade.
Plan for the network you will have in five years, not just the one you have today.Amazing Technology
Choose the right cable
Every run should be terminated, tested and labeled at both ends, with documentation you can hand to the next technician. That is the standard we follow on every job.
- Computers, phones and printers
- Security cameras and access points
- POS lanes and back-office equipment
- A few spare drops in each room for growth
- Patch panels and rack location planned
- Every run tested before closeout
- Both ends labeled
- As-built documentation provided
Insist on testing and labeling
