FAQ

What are some factors to consider when installing voice systems?

A lightning protector is required every time a voice or data cable is run underground inside of a conduit to protect equipment from damaged due to lighting. Lightning can cause a surge when it directly hits power or telephone lines. Even a nearby hit can cause a surge from either inductive coupling within your building or ground potential differences from one side of your building to the other. Surges can also be caused by grid switching by the utility company or by equipment operating within your building, such as elevators, copiers, and air conditioners.

Most surges go unnoticed day after day. If no protection is installed against them, surges can slowly degrade the sensitive electronic components inside your equipment. Then, with little or no warning, the equipment fails. It is estimated that more than 95% of equipment failure is from component degradation over time. That’s why we use the top of the line surge protectors to protect your equipment.

Cat 5e, 6, 6a...what's the difference?

Category 5e: Commonly referred to as “Cat 5e” is a twisted pair cable type designed for high signal integrity. It is often used in cabling for computer networks and is also used to carry basic voice services.

Category 6: Commonly referred to as “Cat 6” it is used to carry Ethernet 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet) connections. Cat 6 cable is backed with more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise than earlier cabling standards.

Category 6a: Commonly referred to as “Cat6a or Cat6 Augmented or 10gig” is the latest standard for enhanced performance standards for twisted pair cable systems. Category 6a is defined at frequencies up to 500 MHz—twice that of Cat 6. Category 6a performs at improved specifications, in particular in the area of alien crosstalk as compared to Cat 6 UTP (unshielded twisted pair), which exhibited high alien noise in high frequencies.

Do I need to mount my Wi-FI on the ceiling?

Wi-Fi access points are typically ceiling mounted. They are designed to provide complete coverage through the office or facility eliminating dead spots. Guest and internal networks allowed secure transfer of information from employees. Reliablility and efficiency is increased in your environment through careful design and deployment of a Wi-Fi solution tailored to your exact IT infrastructure needs and requirements.
