Also the cabling installation function as well as the kind of equipments that will be supported or can be supported by the cabling installation both in the present time and in the future time. The differences in the configuration of a system that has already been installed – in regards to the upgrades and the retrofits and then the requirements of the customer and the warranties from the manufacturing company.

TYPES OF CABLING

There are a variety of several cables available for telecommunications
and other networking applications. All of these cables are described on the
basis of their different categories – some examples like the cat-5e cables and
the cat-6 cables are on SOME occasions recognized by the Telecommunications Industries Association (TIA) and below you will find short explanations on them.

Cat 5

The cat-5 cables are not recognized by TIA/EIA, it is a cable that is used greatly for 100Base-T and the 1000Base-T networks because of its ability to provide performance that allows data at a 100 Mbps or even more. The cat-5 cables were characterized by the use of lines that were balance in order to be able to ensure the preservation of a high signal to noise ratio regardless of the interface from both the external sources, the outer insulation is composed of polyvinyl chloride or rather low smoke zero halogen. The cat-5 cables are able to bend to any length that exceeded approximately about four times the outer diameter of the cable. It is a network that consists of four twisted pairs of wire, not just any kind but the copper wire that undergoes termination by an RJ-45 connector – the cat-5 cables have however now become obsolete and are almost never recommended anymore.

Cat-5e

The cat-5e cable is cable that unlike the cat-5 cable is recognized by the TIA/EIA. This cable is defined in TIA/IA-568-B and it possesses a frequency specification that is only slightly higher than cat-5, its own rate of performance gets up to 125Mbps while that of cat-5 cables is 100Mbps. The cat-5e can be used for both 100Base-T and 1000Base-T gigabyte Ethernet. Basically, it is safe to say that cat-5e is an enhanced form of cat-5 cable that has been manufactured to specifications that are higher that cat-5 cables although they are physically the same as cat-5. Cat-5e cables are a promise of better work with a higher level of efficiency and skill, it is an advance version of a once great cat-5.

Cat -6

This category of cables is a twisted pair cable for Ethernet that is backward compatible with anyone of the cat5/5e cables or the category 3 cables. When compared to some of the other cable categories like the category 5 and 5e, cat 6 come with more specifications on system noise as well as cross talk. It is defined in TIA/EIA-568-B and has a rather significant level of improvement over category 5/5e. During the process of manufacture, they are wounded more tightly than cat 5 or cat 5e and they sometimes come with braided shielding or a outer covering/foil. The shielding is present to bring protection to the twisted wires and also to prevent the case of crosstalk or a situation where noise begins to overlap. The performance of the cat 6 cables goes up to 250MHz while that of cat 5 and cat 5e goes to 100MHz.

Fiber cable

The fiber cable or the fiber optic cable is of course a network cable that has contained in it, strands of glass fibers in an insulated casing that are designed for the purpose of long distance and very high performance networking and telecommunicating. In comparison to wired cables, the fiber cables provide a high bandwidth and are able to transmit information of long distances – they are one of the backbones in support of most of the world’s internet, television and phone systems because of how much distance they are able to cover. They are able to carry information signals by taking the pulses of light that are being generated by little lasers or light emitting diodes (LEDs). In each cable you will find a strand or more of glass that is only slightly thicker than our human hair and you will also find the center of each strand the core’ that is responsible for providing the pathway with which light travels. The core is surrounded by a glass layer ladding’ that allows the light be able to reTXect inward preventing the loss of signal andthat also allows the light to be able to go through the bends on the inside of the cable. Fibers are lighter in capacity and have a large number of network bandwidth that exceeds that of a copper cable. With fiber cables there is less need for signal boosters as light is able to travel through the cable at longer distance without causing the cable to lose its strength.

Coaxial cabling

Coaxial cable is a kind of copper cable that is built specially with a metal shield and many other compartments in order to block signal interference. This kind of cable is commonly used in cable television companies to be able to connect their satellite antenna and their facilities to the homes of their customers. Sometimes, it is also used in telephone companies to connect the main offices to the homes of their respective customers with the aid of a central pole – coaxial cabling is made used of in some homes as well as offices. Its name was gotten because it consist of a single physical channel that is responsible for the distribution of signals from junction to junction. They are made up of concentric layers of conductors of electricity and insulating material and in the process of its build up, it is ensured that the signals are close in properly within the cable to prevent interference from external sources. At the center of the cable is a thin conducting wire that is made either from solid or braided copper, there is also a dielectric layer that is made up of an insulating material with properly defined electrical characteristics surrounding the wire. There is also a layer of shield that is built around the dielectric layer with the use of a metal foil or a braided copper mesh. All of this assembled together is wrapped properly in an insulating jacket. The outer compartment of metal shield is grounded in the connectors at the two ends to protect the signals from interference.

Our method of approaching problems relating to cable installations and any other project relating to it are relatively standard and it is no news that the standardization of any installation is very important as there is need to be assured and to ensure that there is an acceptable system of performance from even the arrangement with increasing complexities. These standards we present to you are of great benefit as they give you a consistent design and installation along with dedication to the physical and the requirements of the transmission line. You also get a basis for the examination and expansion of the proposed system as well as uniform documentation.
