Network Data Cable Installation
Even if you have a wireless network, there are cables. Most of our clients have a mix of both these days.
But they all started the same....with cabling.
Experienced installers make all the difference in the world. We know the proper ways of installation because we know that cable is the backbone of your network. Cat-5, Cat-6, fiber, voice, data, or most any other cabling you can throw at us.
A structured cabling system provides a backbone for office communications. It connects people by providing connections from specific points around a building, to a central location. Anyone can throw a cable on the top of your ceiling panel and call it good, but is it really good? Chances are it's not. Lights, electrical lines and other things can degrade the signal coming through your cables, resulting in poor performance and even stoppage. We have the knowledge to get your cabling in place and working correctly. We have done network cable installations on new buildings as well as existing, so no matter the place we have the solution. Even in unconventional locations we have wire moldings to hide wires that can't be hidden in the walls, like isolated cubicles in the middle of the room. Faceplates with proper drop numbers ensure ease of installation and troubleshooting down the road. If you need a map of the drop locations, we can do that too!

CAT 5e
Cat 5e has now taken over from the old Cat5 standard. This type of cabling is now used in the vast majority of office installations. It is suitable for Voice, Data, and the modern converged technologies such as Voice over IP (VoIP). Most businesses decide that even if they dont use this technology now they will future proof their decisions by ensuring that any installation is VoIP enabled.
CAT 6
With todays demand for fast business processes and reliable communication needs, Cat6 is a high-end solution where guaranteed speed is important. It exceeds all existing and proposed data standards for structured cabling. Testing standards and components are both very exacting for this standard.
FIBRE
Fibre cabling has traditionally been considered only for backbone connectivity but with higher bandwidth requirements continually increasing the cost of copper cabling, fibre is quickly becoming a cost effective cabling medium.
VOICE CABLE
Often recognised as standard white BT type Voice cabling is used for phones, faxes etc. It does not support any of the modern converged technologies such as Voice over IP (VoIP), which requires Structured cabling.
Cabling Solutions
A cabling network that can cope.
Your communications network is only as good as its weakest link. If the cabling installation cannot handle the increased demands made upon it, your investment is wasted and operational efficiency will suffer. Over 50% of network failures are due to cabling that is not installed to the correct standards.
Always remember that although your computer may be out of date within a matter of months, your cabling infrastructure will last for many years. It's therefore worthwhile considering a Cat5e or Cat6 compliant cabling installation that will not only meet your immediate needs but has spare capacity to accommodate further advances in technology.
A well designed, correctly installed, structured cabling system, standards compliant and backed by a comprehensive 25 year warranty, will protect your investment and accommodate future needs.

Benefits of Structured Cabling
From an investment point of view structured cabling provides an exceptional ROI. A structured cabling system will outlive all other networking components and will require only minimal upgrades. According to International Engineering Consortium:
Construction costs for the cabling of the voice, data, and BMS can be reduced by up to 30 percent when integrating the cabling and delivery methods.
Moves, changes, rearrangements, and upgrades can be performed more cost-effectively, with a potential savings of 25 to 40 percent for material and labor when using an open-office cabling approach.
Additional advantages in using structured cabling:
Consistency - Same cables exist everywhere in the building.
Support of multi-vendor equipment - You can mix and match vendors.
Simplifies moves adds and changes - As your company grows and/or moves locations with structured cabling your network resources are always ready to go.
Simplifies troubleshooting - With a wired structuring systems problems are easier to isolate and fix.
Support of future applications - Cat 5e or even Cat 6 compliant system will support future applications with little (if any) system upgrades.
Goldfield`s Network team will work with you to plan and install a structured cabling system that is future ready and that will grow with your company.
