About Cat5 & Cat6 Cabling Systems

Structured Cabling Systems are at the base of modern information network. Designed to
accommodate quickly and cost effectively frequent moves adds and changes a structured
cabling system can alleviate workflow disruptions and network downtime associated with
enterprise restructuring.

According to International Engineering Consortium providing an internationally

standardized structured cabling system and consolidating cable-delivery methods for all
the systems can reduce initial construction costs for the cabling infrastructure of a
modern intelligent building by up to 30 percent.

Typical costs for building operation and alterations over a 40-year life cycle far exceed
the initial construction costs. Proper systems-integration planning to optimize the
construction process can reduce these ongoing life cycle costs.

Building an IT infrastructure that is "future ready" is more important than ever. In today's
competitive business world enterprises must be able to respond fast to changes that occur
in the market place. For some firms this means modernizing their data center to meet
strict new regulatory requirements while for other enterprises, being future-ready is all
about shortening the development and deployment cycle on new services that are
essential to retaining existing customers and acquiring new ones.

San Diego Structured Cabling Solutions

A structured cabling system provides a platform upon which an overall information

system strategy is built. With a flexible cabling infrastructure, a structured cabling system
can support multiple voice, data, video and multimedia systems regardless of their
manufacturer.

Copper Infrastructure Solutions: Independently verified screened and unscreened data-

communication structured cabling solutions, providing ultimate performance and
reliability for today's and tomorrows copper infrastructure requirements. Our Cat 5 (Cat
5e) or Cat 6 solutions will exceed TIA Cat 5e standards.

Fiber Optic Solutions: Conventional and blown fibre cabling solutions that compliment
the deployment of optical solutions deeper into the network delivering a future-proof
infrastructure.

Specialty Cabling Solutions: Copper and fibre solutions for diverse and environmentally
demanding applications such as Mass Transit, Marine, Automotive and Aerospace, that
typically require adherence to strict performance criteria.

Low-voltage cabling: Solutions that include music and paging systems, CCTV.
Additional advantages in using structured cabling:

Consistency: Same cables exist everywhere in the building

Support of multi-vendor equipment: You can mix and match vendors

Simplifies moves adds and changes: As your company grows and/or moves locations
with structured cabling your network resources are always ready to go.

Simplifies troubleshooting: With a wired structuring systems problems are easier to

isolate and fix.

Support of future applications: A Cat 5 or even Cat 6 compliant system will support
future applications with little (if any) system upgrades.

Benefits of Structured Cabling

From an investment point of view structured cabling provides an exceptional ROI. A

structured cabling system will outlive all other networking components and will require
only minimal upgrades. According to International Engineering Consortium:

Construction costs for the cabling of the voice, data, and BMS can be reduced by up to 30
percent when integrating the cabling and delivery methods.

Moves, changes, rearrangements, and upgrades can be performed more cost-effectively,

with a potential savings of 25 to 40 percent for material and labor when using an open-
office cabling approach.
