The demands of today’s business environment mean we increasingly rely upon the instant supply and availability of information from both colleagues and the outside world.
A network is only as good as its weakest link. In the highly complicated world of network and IT infrastructure, this may be an over simplification of matters, but it is nevertheless true. If your cabling infrastructure is not designed, installed and in the first instance built from components that can cope with the demands of now and the foreseeable future, your investment in hardware – from servers, through routers and switches, to client devices – is wasted and your business suffers. Many surveys over recent years have confirmed that more than 50% of network failures are due to problems with the installed cabling. The life expectancy of your cabling infrastructure is far greater than that of any of the hardware that will connect to it. You must therefore plan well, think ahead and consider your choices carefully when deciding upon, not just the type and standard of structured cabling for your business, but also the brand you choose. A well designed, correctly installed, standards-compliant structured cabling system, backed by a comprehensive warranty programme is the best way of protecting your investment and allowing for future needs.
Each of the key components within our Category 6 and 5e solutions is approved to relevant ISO or TIA/EIA standards by recognised independent test houses. Installed Excel systems do not just meet defined standards, they exceed them. The Excel Category 6 system provides bandwidths of 250MHz. A range of performance characteristics are tested up to 250MHz including return loss, attenuation and near and far end crosstalk (NEXT and FEXT) for which both worst case and power sum tests are completed. When tested both in isolation and in circuit, actual performance far exceeds the required standard, resulting in significant headroom for even the most demanding of applications.
