5 things to consider when installing structured cabling

1
Cat5E, Cat6, Cat6A, or Fiber?

Copper cable comes in many different flavors, but the most common are Cat5E, Cat6, and Cat6A. The speed, frequency, and cost increase with each level. According to TIA recommendations, Cat5E is legacy, Cat6 is the minimum, and Cat6A is recommended.

Fiber cable is divided into single-mode and multi-mode. It’s immune to electromagnetic interference, provides more bandwidth, and can be run at longer distances. This extra functionality comes at a cost– installation and material are more expensive.

The right cable will depend on how big your facility is and how much bandwidth it’ll need.

2
Do I need 1 or 2 cables per work area?

This decision is a widely debated topic. The fact is, cable is inexpensive relative to the entire telecommunications system and building that it serves. The increased functionality and bandwidth from one more data cable can be priceless. Going back and adding cables can be expensive and cumbersome, especially after drywall is in place. TIA/EIA-568-B.1 advises two drops per work area.

3
What are test results about and why do they matter?

Test results are commonly required on all structured cabling jobs. The installer can use a handheld tester that plugs into the network and tests each cable for factors like wire map, distance, cross-talk, and ACR (signal to noise). These tests can are downloaded into a file and handed to the owner after project completion. Test results verify that the system installation meets industry standards and terminations were done correctly.

4
What's the industry standard for a warranty?

Most connectivity and cable companies will tout a 25-year warranty. Truthfully, if the cabling system works after the contractor tests it, it should last every bit of 25 years. The exception being if someone does something to the system that materially alters or changes it.

5
What should the end deliverable be for a structured cabling system?

When properly designed and installed, the end deliverable should be a structured cabling system that supports the customer’s needs now and well into the foreseeable future. The MDF (Main Distribution Frames) and IDF (Intermediate Distribution Frames) should be well thought out, and cables should be neatly dressed. It should have additional cable runs that support a wireless overlay and have sufficient bandwidth in the backbone to handle a step-change in bandwidth needs.
