What's the difference between Unloaded and Preloaded patch panels? Like the name implies, unloaded patch panels are not made with jacks occupying every port. Instead, each jack has an empty slots which accept jacks the same way wall plates do. Preloaded patch panels are made with a printed circuit board, termination blocks, and jacks ready to accept cabling. #officeconstruction #ethernet #structuredcabling #fiberoptics #datacenter #datacabling #networkcabling #networkswitch #cat6 #cat6a #cat7 #cat8 #officeconstruction #ethernet #structuredcabling #fiberoptics #datacenter #datacabling #networkcabling #networkswitch #cat6 #cat6a #cat7 #cat8

Q: Isn't cat5e good enough for gigabit speeds? If your cable system was installed by a company like Cablewell, you can refer to the certified test results they provided to see exactly which standards your cabling system meets. If you're unsure, give us a call and we can test and certify your system to see if you can squeeze gigabit out of your existing cat5e system. #officeconstruction #ethernet #structuredcabling #fiberoptics #datacenter #datacabling #networkcabling #networkswitch #cat6 #cat6a #cat7 #cat8

Q: How much bandwidth is enough? A: You can never have too much bandwidth. The industry is seeing more IT professionals specing Category 6A cabling to enable 10-gigabit connections, which provides a network bandwidth of 1.2 gigbytes per second. This is not a lot when you consider the effective bandwidth is roughly between 50-80% of that, and more files and services are being moved off the workstation and onto the cloud. #officeconstruction #ethernet #structuredcabling #fiberoptics #datacenter #datacabling #networkcabling #networkswitch #cat6 #cat6a #cat7 #cat8

When should we consider upgrading to CAT6A cabling? When you think cloud-hosted services on platforms like AWS, you should consider infrastructure that can support this like CAT6A. #officeconstruction #ethernet #structuredcabling #fiberoptics #datacenter #datacabling #networkcabling #networkswitch #cat6 #cat6a #cat7 #cat8

How old is your cabling system? Physical lifespan of cabling if rated at approximately 16 years before the elements, changes in temperature, and other factors takes its toll on the systems physical properties such as cable jacket strength and connector pins. The result is deteriorating performance and phantom problems that can eat up an IT professionals time trouble-shooting various layers of their network. #officeconstruction #ethernet #structuredcabling #fiberoptics #datacenter #datacabling #networkcabling #networkswitch #officemove
