Why hire an electrician to install network cabling in your commercial building?

• An electrician understands more than just the network side of an installation. Electricians are trained to install conduit, cable tray and other associated infrastructure that network systems are installed in.

• An electrician can assess and install the power systems required to run network systems

• A certified electrician has a minimum 5 years of trade experience before licensed. Our electricians have 10+ years experience each. This allows for a quality installation you wont get elsewere.

A commercial building's network and telephone infrastructure cabling needs have undergone significant changes since the invention of telephone cabling in the late 1800s. At that time, telephone cabling was primarily made up of copper wires that were used to transmit voice signals between two endpoints.

Over time, the need for higher bandwidth and more advanced communication technologies has driven the evolution of cabling. The following is a brief overview of how cabling has evolved over time:

• In the 1950s, coaxial cables were introduced for high-frequency transmissions. These cables used a copper core wrapped in a braided shield and had improved noise immunity compared to earlier copper wire.

• In the 1970s, twisted-pair cabling was introduced for data transmission. This cabling consisted of two or more insulated copper wires twisted together, which reduced interference and crosstalk. Twisted-pair cabling became the primary cabling used for telephone and Ethernet connections.

• In the 1980s, fiber optic cabling was introduced for high-speed data transmission. This cabling uses glass or plastic fibers to transmit data using light, providing much higher bandwidth and longer distances than copper cabling.

• In the 1990s, Category 5 (Cat5) twisted-pair cabling was introduced, which could support higher data rates than previous twisted-pair cabling. Cat5 cabling was commonly used for Ethernet networks.

• In the 2000s, Cat6 twisted-pair cabling was introduced, which supported even higher data rates and reduced crosstalk compared to Cat5 cabling. This cabling is commonly used for high-speed Ethernet networks.

• In recent years, fiber optic cabling has become increasingly popular for high-speed data transmission in commercial buildings. Different types of fiber optic cabling have been introduced, including single-mode and multi-mode fiber, which are optimized for different distances and bandwidths.

 

The evolution of cabling has been driven by the increasing demands for higher bandwidth and faster communication technologies in commercial buildings. Businesses today require reliable and high-speed data connections for a wide range of applications, including video conferencing, cloud computing, and data storage. As a result, cabling infrastructure has become a critical component of modern commercial buildings.

Category 5, 6, and 6a cabling are types of twisted pair copper cabling used for networking and telecommunications in commercial buildings. They are designed to support high-speed data transfer and communication between devices, such as computers, servers, routers, and switches.

Category 5 cabling is the most widely used type of twisted pair copper cabling and is capable of transmitting data at speeds of up to 100 Mbps (megabits per second). It is commonly used for Ethernet networking, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol), and other telecommunications applications.

​

Category 6 cabling is an improved version of Category 5 cabling and is capable of transmitting data at speeds of up to 10 Gbps (gigabits per second) over a distance of up to 55 meters. It is commonly used for high-speed data transfer and communication applications in commercial buildings, such as data centers, server rooms, and large office networks.

​

Category 6a cabling is the most advanced type of twisted pair copper cabling and is capable of transmitting data at speeds of up to 10 Gbps over a distance of up to 100 meters. It is commonly used for high-speed data transfer and communication applications in commercial buildings, such as data centers, server rooms, and large office networks where longer distances are required.
