Data & Fiber Cabling

The rule for Data-Cabling: Do it right the first time!

At ACS our sole objective is to establish stable networks with the highest quality cabling and workmanship. Our Data-Cabling Team has experience in multi-story home environments, small and large offices, and buildings with hundreds of drops. Since we jointly work with our Network Engineers, no job is too large for our Data-Cabling team.

Don't pay more. Don't settle for less!

Fiberglass Cabling Services

Optical fiber is the only way to guarantee long distance connectivity and on-demand
bandwidth.

• Optical Fiber Cable Installation
• Add or relocate existing phone, workstation jacks or DSL lines

There are various termination connectors for optical fiber: ST, SC, and LC. ST is a twist-on
connector, SC is a punch on connector, and LC, the most recent version, is also a punch on
connector, but with smaller form factor.

ACS can rack mount connectors or install a standalone fiber box (see pic). Fiber transceivers are used to convert fiber signal into Ethernet RJ45. In other applications, switches may be also be used with fiber for direct connection. Call for an onsite consultation and quotation.

Fiber Optic Advantages	Fiber Optic Disadvantages
Immunity from electromagnetic interference and (EMI) radiofrequency interference (RFI). Patch Panels High data transmission rate. Secure means of communications. Difficult to tap optical tube without detection of signal loss. Small diameter and light weight cable. High flexibility - can be installed to support low capacity (low-bit rate) and adjust to high capacity system as requirements expand.	Complex network design. Requires in-depth understanding of light distribution characteristics. Splicing requires elaborate equipment and expertise.

Patch Panels

Patch panels are the best method for cable management. Patch panels make it easy for you to add and change connections to your switch. Patch paneling keeps the wires clean and unaffected for the long term. Why just use tips with cables everywhere? Just install a patch panel the right way to terminate your copper cable.

Power over Ethernet (POE)

ACS installs POE (power over Ethernet for compliant devices) and wires it to your wireless access points. The importance of a strongly wired infrastructure cannot be emphasized enough as a major component of a fast and reliable network

DOs and DON'Ts of Professional Data-Cabling

• Use fire resistant cable for lowered (t-bar) ceilings
• Don't run cable within 1' of power sources
• Don't run cable on florescent lights case
• Don't stretch cable more then 25 pounds of pressure during installation
• Don't bend cable more then a 90 degree angle
• Do not try to split Copper cable over 328 Feet with hubs
• Do use Fiber Optical Cable for your backbone between switches

Note: Data-Cabling that is not installed to code and installed incorrectly may result in unreliable LAN connections, lower bandwidth, slower connections, irregular networking problems and workstation downtime.
