So many business organizations and individual users commit structured cabling installation mistakes which you should avoid to not compromise the quality of connection and instead, enjoy a seamless experience.
We will explain today what IT engineers and other technicians miss during the structured cabling installation process.
Improper Planning
You start building a business by planning extensively, availing yourself of benefits for years to come, right?
This also applies to structured cabling installation.
But for some unfortunate reason, people have made the mistake of not planning the room requirement for wire connections, as well as the number of required ports, ideal cable according to need, and ideal speed for every connection.
Some commit the gravest mistake of no planning at all.
Poor Cable Management
Everything should be properly labeled and set up to become easily accessible or removable, even if this requires upgrading your system or moving portions of it to a different, more convenient location in your facility.
Trying to save their money in here is to spend it after a few months, on maintenance or reinstallation. It only shows a lack of knowledge and expertise.
No Environmental Control
Maybe you did or didn’t know, but structured cabling networks are sensitive to the environment and could be disrupted by hot/humid, cool/dry, as well as magnetic and electromagnetic fields.
If the technician doesn’t think about this early enough and does not use proper equipment to adjust the atmosphere, these might end up disturbing the connection.
Law Breaking
Believe it or not, there are laws, standards, permits, inspections, and codes out there for inside/outside cable to consider at local and federal levels.
Breaking any of these can result in costly fines, networking changes, and safety issues.
Because they change from state and country, what we recommend you is to learn about legislation through knowledgeable IT specialists and to comply with them from the beginning.
No Network Testing
On occasions, structured cabling installation could take longer than expected.
Even in the case of tiredness, the last step in the installation process must always be, to check the health of the connection.
Are you committing this and similar structured cabling installation mistakes?
You’re not alone! It’s impressive the amount users and technicians that don’t do that, ending up in future performance issues (in the worst case, leading to work being re-done).
So that extra work is always worth it!
Structured cabling installation is not something you should afford yourself to neglect.
Even in the case that you want to do it yourself or let other non-technician relatives do it for you can also result in the costly purchase of new equipment and fees of post-effort maintenance.
Instead, what if you let the experts handle it this time?
