Fiber optic lines are attached to an Optical Network Terminal (ONT), which our installer will attach to the outside of your home or building near the electric meter. If there is a workable interior solution, the ONT can be installed there.
Make the waiting areas at your business more pleasant and informative with cable television service. Because of the many available channels, you can select shows that match the demographics of your clientele.
Fiber optics is a communications medium in which signals in the form of light pulses are sent along hair-thin strands of glass or plastic fiber. Fiber optic cables are slowly replacing copper as a more reliable form of data transmission.
When fiber optic cable is being used, a technician will be on site a few days ahead of time to run the fiber optic line into your building. We recommend having your facilities manager meet with our representative to discuss logistics.
Even small businesses can enjoy big benefits when connected to the internet through broadband cable. Employee productivity improves because both internet connection speed and reliability of service are improved.
Do you know that in cases where super-high voltages have to be used over long distances, aluminum cables are preferred over copper cables? This is because aluminum cables cost significantly less than copper cables.
All of our cable services are compatible with home video equipment. You will be able to hookup all of your devices without any problems or loss of quality. Call us today to get started.
How fast does data travel through fiber optic cables? Brace yourself - it travels in a straight line at the speed of light. However, any bends or curves do slow the transmission down, but only slightly.
Depending on your needs and the building’s design, cabling can be installed overhead or underground. Once in place, we provide complete testing and commissioning of all components and systems.
In the business world, cable services can be invaluable. In addition to meeting your telecommunications and internet needs, they can also be used for in-house broadcasts to deliver important information or training to employees.
If you a need production control system, we have the skills to create one that's perfect for your business. Design services include data centers, dedicated control systems, A/V cabling and connections, and communication networks.
When installing fiber optic cable, a heavy ¼” to ½” pull rope that will not stretch is used. If the rope stretches, the cable can become unstable and damaged, or installers can lose control of the pull.
Terrain, geography, and the weather can all block or interfere with satellite signals beamed to your home. Tall trees, mountains and valleys, cloud cover and storms contribute to less than satisfactory service. Cable is the better option.
It isn't only stormy weather that can disrupt satellite service. Solar flares or changes to the earth’s magnetic field can wreak havoc with it as well. Trust cable for steady, reliable service.
Fiber optic cabling has several advantages. Because they're smaller and can be bundled in greater numbers than wire, they can transmit more data with less signal degradation. They also save money because they use less electricity than other materials.
When installing underground conduits to hold fiber optic cable, we recommend 1-½” to 2” conduit with as few bends as possible. If you anticipate a need to add more cable at a later date, use 4” conduit.
What is backbone cabling? These are vertical cables that connect entrance facilities to equipment rooms on different floors of a structure. These lines can be coaxial, UTP, and fiber optic cables depending on the type of equipment being used.
One of the most important things to take into account when laying out network cables is crosstalk. In simple terms, this is when the electromagnetic radiation emitted by cables interfere with each other, causing errors in data transmission as well as slower connectivity.
While fiber optic cables outperform conventional cables significantly, they are more fragile and require very careful handling. They also can’t be bent past a certain point as doing so will cause the light streams they carry to refract and degrade.
Did you know that a structured cable system is subject to professional standards (TIA/EIA 568)? As such, designing one isn’t just a matter of deciding where things go, as the process will need to follow the specifications required.
What are the subsystems you can expect to find in a structured cabling system? Typically, such setups will feature entrance facilities, equipment (data and telecommunication) enclosures, backbone cabling (for multi-level structures), horizontal cabling, and individual work station interfaces.
In large quantities, wires and cables can be hard to deal with and are often left tangled together in what’s known as a rat’s nest. However, this should never be allowed to happen as tracing any faults in such a mess will be next to impossible.
