Structured Cabling
Structured Cabling is a set of cabling and connectivity products that integrates the voice, data, video, and various management systems of a building (such as safety alarms, security access, and energy systems). Structured Cabling can terminate on patch panels to provide a neat and clean environment allowing easy changes. Taylored Systems can provide complete voice, data, and security cabling solutions (up to 10 Gig) including:
Cabling
Category 5e: Commonly referred to as “Cat 5e” is a twisted pair cable type designed for high signal integrity. It is often used in cabling for computer networks and is also used to carry basic voice services.
Category 6: Commonly referred to as “Cat 6” it is used to carry Ethernet 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet) connections. Cat 6 cable is backed with more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise than earlier cabling standards.
Multi-Mode Fiber: Best suited for premises applications where links are less than 2000 meters for 155 MB/s or less, 550 meters for data rates of 1 GB/s or less, and 300 meters for data rates of 10Gb/s or less. There are two types of micro-mode fiber, 62.5 um and 50 um. Our Taylored team can help determine the right type for you.
Single-Mode Fiber: Best suited for bandwidth requirements exceeding multimode’s capability, distances exceeding multimode’s capability and where the application dictates single mode like video.
Cabling Framework
Enclosed or Open Data Racks/Cabinets: A cabinet or rack is a standardized system for mounting phone or data modules in a "stack", or rack. Equipment designed to be placed in a rack or cabinet is typically described as rack mount, a rack-mounted system, a rack-mount chassis, subrack, rack mountable, or occasionally simply shelf.
Patch Panels: A panel, typically rack mounted that houses cable connections. Allows for the assembly of hardware so that the number of circuits appear on jacks for monitoring, interconnecting, and testing circuits in a convenient, flexible manner. Angle patch panels are available to help conserve space.
Vertical & Horizontal Wire Management: Providing a neat and clean appearance by managing and hiding cables and patch cords in cabinets and racks.
Above Ceiling Cable Tray System: Either basket tray or ladder rack styles are available to allow for convenient installation of current and future cabling projects.
Sound Masking: Commonly referred to as “white noise”, it is the addition of artificial sound into an environment to “mask” or cover-up unwanted sounds. It reduces or eliminates awareness of pre-existing sounds in a given area and can make a work environment more comfortable while creating privacy so workers can be more productive.
Abandoned Cable: National Electric Code requires the removal of all abandoned cable. The Taylored Team conducts a site survey, and provides documentation and pricing to remove abandoned cable when installing new voice and data cabling.
Completed systems for both fiber and copper are certified and all cable is tested by using the state-of-the art Fluke DTX1800 cable analyzer that includes the new OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectomoter) Module. Detailed reports can be provided to you upon project completion.
