How do you identify your existing wiring?

Performance by design

Before you break ground on your new offices or purchase an existing building, our consulting team will review blueprints and designs to ensure that your network and communications infrastructure needs are met right up front. Architects and designers sometimes overlook the obvious needs for multiple drops in an office arena or an equipment closet or even proper ventilation and cooling for equipment areas. That's where we come in. We can trace the path of existing wires or review design plans and catching the details that can save you money and time over the long run.  

Wire tracing and cable breaks.

Existing network wiring will challenge any network manager when its time to expand or if you need to locate problems without a complete blueprint. We trace connections, confirm connectivity and transport values and replace broken connections and terminations. 

The direct route from A to B.

As your network grows, does your architecture plan follow a clear and straight path? Over the years modifications, splices and patches may have slowed your network traffic patterns.  You can regain efficiency and speed by auditing your overall network design every five years.

What's new vs. what's necessary.

Changes in technology may or may not enhance your system. Statewide Cabling's consulting team is up-to-date with the latest innovations. Does your office need fiber optics, wireless integration, 10-GIG transmission capabilities? Will you need these advances in the next five to 10 years? We can help you answer these questions and implement these advances, when appropriate, in stages.

How do you identify your existing wiring?

Most network and voice appliances today utilize "twisted pair" cabling. This category includes category 5 (cat 5), 5se (cat 5 se), and 6 (cat 6) cabling. Twisted pair wiring generally terminates with an RJ45 connector for ethernet (10-base-T) and fast ethernet (10/100) networks or an RJ11 cable for digital telephone systems. These same cables will connect your network hubs, routers, PCs, fax and voice mail systems.
Older networks may find they travel on  coax cabling (RG58) which is sometimes call "thin ethernet" resulting in a 2-base-T transport. These networks terminate with BNC connectors.
Offices that will or do utilize extreme high bandwidth applications--video conferencing, streaming audio and video, PC conferencing--will operate most efficiently on an integrated network using both fiber optic cables that integrate with traditional 10/100 or 1 GIG transport network connections.  
Companies that need added mobility can now integrate laptops, handheld PCs and tablets into their work environment utilizing the new wireless standards. An efficient wireless network schematic requires network ports and hubs placed at intermittent locations that then provide strong signals to all areas of the building.
