Office cabling
One of the most overlooked aspects of relocation
Cabling is quite often left to the last minute, however, it is crucial to the success of the final move in that much of the work has to be considered before the physical move takes place. Consideration has to be given to placement of equipment as well as specialised staff as this has cabling implications in the new offices.
It may be, for example, that some specialist staff are not able to be located in the ideal, logical location as the cabling costs are impacted by some building limitation.
Voice & Data Cabling – the Most flexible solution
This can be provided in a mixed format. Using equipment where you can switch bandwidth between both voice and data will allow you to optimise this solution. The best solution is a CAT 5 structured cabling environment that is capable of supporting both voice and data traffic and can be managed in a flexible colour coded wiring system within a patch panel. This enables you to connect your telephones and data over the same wiring and is a very efficient solution.
Wireless Communications
This is becoming more and more important to the modern business. It is less intrusive than classical cabling solutions and provides a much more flexible approach to communications. In addition workers who are located outside the main offices can maintain their links to the company data ensuring synchronisation is constant so managers obtain a true picture of the status of each department.
There are number of methods of data encryption that can be deployed in this area to ensure that your data is secure from intruders.
A combination of both wired and wireless environments is the most flexible solution for offices of the future.
