5 Mistakes to Avoid While Installing Network Cables

5​ ​Mistakes​ ​to​ ​Avoid​ ​While​ ​Installing Network​ ​Cables If​ ​you​ ​have​ ​shifted​ ​to​ ​a​ ​new​ ​home​ ​or​ ​soon​ ​shifting​ ​your​ ​workplace to​ ​a​ ​new​ ​building,​ ​you​ ​are​ ​probably​ ​already​ ​thinking​ ​of​ ​installing network​ ​ethernet​ ​cables​ ​as​ ​one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​first​ ​tasks.​ ​But​ ​wait,​ ​till​ ​you read​ ​further.​ ​Whoever​ ​said​ ​that​ ​“learn​ ​from​ ​the​ ​mistakes​ ​of others”,​ ​must​ ​have​ ​been​ ​a​ ​genius.”​ ​So,​ ​let’s​ ​just​ ​utilize​ ​the suggestion​ ​practically​ ​and​ ​have​ ​a​ ​look​ ​at​ ​the​ ​most​ ​common mistakes​ ​made​ ​while​ ​installing​ ​network​ ​cables,​ ​to​ ​avoid​ ​doing​ ​it ourselves.

Using​ ​Separate​ ​Cables​ ​for​ ​Voice​ ​&​ ​Data If​ ​you​ ​ask​ ​any​ ​relevant​ ​person​ ​about​ ​their​ ​biggest​ ​mistake​ ​while network​ ​cabling​ ​their​ ​home​ ​or​ ​workplace,​ ​you​ ​will​ ​get​ ​to​ ​hear​ ​it​ ​as one​ ​of​ ​the​ ​most​ ​common​ ​answers.​ ​Earlier,​ ​twisted​ ​cabling​ ​was comparatively​ ​expensive​ ​so​ ​people​ ​opted​ ​different​ ​cabling​ ​for both.​ ​But​ ​now​ ​the​ ​cabling​ ​itself​ ​isn’t​ ​that​ ​much​ ​of​ ​an​ ​expense.

In​ ​fact,​ ​latest​ ​phone​ ​systems​ ​require​ ​data-level​ ​cabling​ ​so​ ​you​ ​don’t have​ ​a​ ​choice​ ​but​ ​to​ ​get​ ​suitable​ ​cabling​ ​that​ ​supports​ ​both.​ ​Not thinking​ ​about​ ​the​ ​possibility​ ​of​ ​you​ ​installing​ ​any​ ​of​ ​those​ ​phone systems​ ​in​ ​future​ ​describes​ ​another​ ​major​ ​mistake. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​1​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​https://www.sfcable.com/

Compromising​ ​with​ ​the​ ​Quality/Version A​ ​network​ ​connection​ ​isn’t​ ​temporary.​ ​With​ ​the​ ​ongoing advancements,​ ​it​ ​would​ ​be​ ​a​ ​grave​ ​mistake​ ​to​ ​still​ ​choose​ ​the cheapest​ ​and​ ​most​ ​basic​ ​cables​ ​available.​ ​Although​ ​it​ ​isn’t mandatory​ ​to​ ​go​ ​with​ ​totally​ ​high-end​ ​cables,​ ​it​ ​would​ ​be​ ​a​ ​smart option​ ​to​ ​go​ ​for​ ​quality​ ​Ethernet​ ​cables​​ ​capable​ ​of​ ​facilitating​ ​a robust​ ​connection.

That​ ​being​ ​said,​ ​you​ ​might​ ​not​ ​need​ ​a​ ​10gbps​ ​speed​ ​right​ ​now,​ ​but let’s​ ​just​ ​say​ ​100Mbps​ ​should​ ​also​ ​not​ ​be​ ​what​ ​you​ ​settle​ ​with.

Cabling​ ​Parallel​ ​to​ ​Electric​ ​Cables Setting​ ​up​ ​your​ ​networking​ ​cables​ ​parallel​ ​to​ ​electric​ ​cables​ ​can disturb​ ​the​ ​magnetic​ ​field​ ​of​ ​the​ ​cables​ ​and​ ​cause​ ​major disruptions.​ ​You​ ​can​ ​also​ ​end​ ​up​ ​losing​ ​transmission​ ​at​ ​times​ ​or very​ ​slow​ ​communication​ ​between​ ​the​ ​wires​ ​taking​ ​place.

So​ ​deciding​ ​your​ ​cable​ ​path,​ ​therefore,​ ​is​ ​very​ ​important​ ​rather than​ ​just​ ​going​ ​randomly​ ​about​ ​it.

Cutting​ ​Cables​ ​Too​ ​Short/Long You​ ​certainly​ ​don’t​ ​want​ ​your​ ​cables​ ​stretching​ ​hard​ ​to​ ​reach​ ​out​ ​to their​ ​destination​ ​connectors.​ ​So,​ ​the​ ​best​ ​way​ ​to​ ​go​ ​about​ ​it​ ​is​ ​to measure​ ​the​ ​exact​ ​distance​ ​of​ ​your​ ​connections​ ​and​ ​take​ ​just​ ​about a​ ​few​ ​inches​ ​more​ ​for​ ​ease.​ ​Don’t​ ​cut​ ​them​ ​too​ ​short.

If​ ​short​ ​cables​ ​are​ ​a​ ​problem,​ ​too​ ​long​ ​ones​ ​are​ ​a​ ​bigger​ ​problem.

Every​ ​cable​ ​has​ ​its​ ​capacity​ ​and​ ​if​ ​you​ ​choose​ ​lengths​ ​longer​ ​than their​ ​competence,​ ​you​ ​might​ ​suffer​ ​with​ ​slower​ ​and​ ​frequently disruptive​ ​connections.​ ​So,​ ​consider​ ​distance​ ​limitations​ ​of​ ​your cables​ ​seriously.

Not​ ​Testing​ ​Cables​ ​Simultaneously Do​ ​you​ ​want​ ​to​ ​end​ ​up​ ​scratching​ ​your​ ​heads​ ​when​ ​your​ ​network cabling​ ​is​ ​done​ ​but​ ​you​ ​end​ ​up​ ​realizing​ ​that​ ​there​ ​had​ ​been​ ​a​ ​few faulty​ ​cables​ ​that​ ​refuse​ ​to​ ​aid​ ​the​ ​connection?​ ​We​ ​know​ ​the answer.​ ​So,​ ​the​ ​best​ ​way​ ​to​ ​avoid​ ​this​ ​is​ ​to​ ​go​ ​about​ ​checking​ ​every single​ ​cable​ ​while​ ​establishing​ ​the​ ​connection.

It​ ​might​ ​sound​ ​to​ ​be​ ​a​ ​time-consuming​ ​task​ ​given​ ​you​ ​are​ ​paying​ ​a hefty​ ​amount​ ​for​ ​labor​ ​but​ ​trust​ ​us​ ​it’s​ ​better​ ​than​ ​paying them(much​ ​more)​ ​later​ ​for​ ​fixing​ ​a​ ​brand​ ​new​ ​connection.

Other​ ​than​ ​that,​ ​doesn't​ ​go​ ​about​ ​a​ ​haphazard​ ​connection.​ ​Plan​ ​in advance​ ​and​ ​go​ ​for​ ​cable​ ​organization​ ​as​ ​it​ ​comes​ ​really​ ​handy​ ​in ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​3​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​https://www.sfcable.com/

long​ ​run​ ​and​ ​can​ ​save​ ​a​ ​lot​ ​on​ ​labor​ ​costs​ ​for​ ​maintenance.

Additionally,​ ​you​ ​should​ ​also​ ​take​ ​care​ ​of​ ​the​ ​codes​ ​and​ ​ordinances of​ ​your​ ​region.

Looking​ ​from​ ​utility​ ​point​ ​of​ ​view,​ ​network​ ​cabling​​ ​these​ ​days​ ​is​ ​as much​ ​an​ ​important​ ​job​ ​as​ ​electric​ ​wiring.​ ​So,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​important​ ​to​ ​get good​ ​cables,​ ​equipments,​ ​and​ ​proficient​ ​labor​ ​to​ ​avoid​ ​regretting later.​ ​To​ ​ensure​ ​everything​ ​goes​ ​smoothly,​ ​it’s​ ​a​ ​good​ ​idea​ ​to​ ​hire professionals​ ​for​ ​the​ ​job​ ​rather​ ​than​ ​planning​ ​it​ ​out​ ​yourself.
