Important Data Cabling Installation Tips and Advice Data cabling is installed in homes, offices, schools, government buildings and more. It is used more and more as technology continues to evolve, providing users with a smooth running system which can increase performance in the world place and turn a house into a smart home with ease. These days’ offices and homes require internet access in every room, they require fast networking speeds and instant video downloads. While Wi-Fi is a popular choice, a hard wired device will be able to work faster, access networks quicker and download videos at lightening speeds without the risk of fluctuations and other interference which may slow down a machine relying on a wireless signal. Whether you’re handling the installation yourself or you are calling in a professional team to handle the data cabling installation on your behalf, there are a few important tips you will want to know about, ensuring the installation is done at the highest standard to reduce the risk of interference and an unstable line now and in the future. The first thing you need to know is that while you may want everything to look neat and tidy, neat data cables can result in a high volume of interference and signal degradation. Ideally the cables should be loosely bundled to reduce the risk of this happening. While it’s understandable you want all your cables to run together in one direction. Keeping them together and ensuring that they look neat and tidy at all times. One of the biggest mistakes you can make during any data cabling installation is to run your data cables with your power cables. Running these cables parallel to each other is only a recipe for disaster with your power cable acting as a transformer and not providing you with the high level of speed and superior connectivity that you expect. In addition to electric cables, any electrical interference can affect the data cables after installation. This means keeping the cabling away from electric cables, fluorescent lighting and even motors and coolers, microwaves and any other electrical device which may affect the cables performance moving forward. Data cabling should never be exposed to moisture. This means if you are running the cables underground or through your attic space, where moisture may be a
concern, a waterproof conduit should be used, reducing the risk of getting wet and eroding in the future. When it comes to data cabling installation you want to identify any fireplaces or heating sources within the property. It is imperative that the cables are kept cool. You should ensure the cables aren’t exposed to heat before, during and after installation, this way you have peace of mind that they will be working at their best now and moving forward. Finally, one of the many mistakes made during any data cabling installation process is to bend or kink the cables. You need to work with these cables carefully. If they are on a roll, unroll them carefully, reducing the risk of unwelcome kinks which may affect their performance at a later date. When installing, ensure the cable remains straight without any bends. Ideally when you are considering data cabling installation, you should look for a company that can handle this process for you. You want to find a company with years of knowledge and experience armed with a professional and qualified team who can set up the data cabling quickly and effectively, eliminating the risk of something going wrong now or in the future when it comes to performance.
