Why Choose Coaxial?

Coaxial (or coax) cable is cabling that sends electrical signals or energy from one place to another. It is primarily used for transmission of television and radio signals because it is audio/visual based and runs on radio frequency. Coax cabling delivers excellent performance and superior electromagnetic energy shielding.  Coax cabling comes in a variety of options from rigid to

flexible depending on your cabling needs. This type of option is commonly known as bend radius. Bend radius is the amount of radius a cable can bend without experiencing unfavorable effects. Coax cabling copper wiring shielded by layers of plastic, mesh, and rubber which shield the signals from degradation and interference.

Coaxial cabling may not be the most technologically advanced cabling on the market today but it has many benefits that keep it in the technological race. Compatibility is the primary benefit of coaxial cabling. It is compatible with such a large variety of products that it has become close to universal.  Another great benefit is the cost. Coaxial cabling is very budget friendly and is often used when setting up new small business offices. While it is a bit bulkier than its more expensive counterparts it does get the job done while being less susceptible to interference than standard telephone wire.

Fiber Optics – The Cabling of Today!

We have been hearing the term fiber optics since the early 90’s but really the concept has been around since the late 1800’s when William Wheeler used the basic concept of fiber optics to use one light source to light his whole home instead of having a light source in each room. Thankfully the technology has come a long way since then but what is fiber optic technology like today? Fiber optic technology uses glass or plastic threads to transmit digital data. One fiber optic cable consists of a bundle of glass or plastic threads that is capable of transmitting messages that have been sent by using light waves. This technology has greatly improved data communications worldwide and it has many advantages over its copper wiring counterpart.

Copper wiring has been used for years to transmit phone calls across the nation. It works by sending analog electrical signals. These signals, however, are susceptible to bad weather, interference, and break down of the signal itself when it is transmitted over a long distance. It is not bothered by weather or by being close to another fiber optic cable because there are no electrical signals to interfere with each other. It is still possible to have some degradation of the signal but built in signal booster technology enhance and strengthen the signal as it goes down the cable plus the faster travel speed means it is less likely to break down the information. Fiber optic cabling is lightning fast, transmitting over 10 gigabits per second per channel. This enables businesses to have reliable and fast data communications that are less open to outside hacking. Another benefit for businesses is that fiber optic cabling poses no fire hazard because it uses light to create the signals instead of electricity. Also, it is less expensive to purchase than copper wiring and takes up less space in the wall. Yet another benefit is that fiber optic cabling uses less power so it is less expensive to run. Of course there are always a few downsides to technological advancement. Fiber optic cabling is more expensive to install because it is more fragile than copper wire and the technicians have to be careful but overall the benefits are tremendous. Fiber optic cabling has less of a carbon output, lower emissions, and lower pricing.

Give Your Server the Room it Needs

Companies that run on a network or that need a lot of computing resources often have one or more workhorse computer(s) known as a server. The servers house the main programs and share the resources between multiple users using a cabling system. Having a server room will help protect this huge asset to your business.

Servers generate a lot of heat and need cooling devices to prevent system malfunctions or thermal shut down. When you have a server room you can protect the servers with climate control. If these servers are the cornerstone of your business then you also need to consider outside threats like earthquakes, fires, and theft.

Examples of the types of protection available would be ceramic paneling to block heat from the outside, fire suppression systems that use gas to extinguish flames, and locking server cabinets that will protect the servers in the event of an earthquake. But the best way to protect your server room is to design the room with the help of cabling professionals who will assess the room and recommend what type of cabling would work best for your business.  They know the benefits of fiber optic cabling, the disadvantages of copper wiring, and speed capabilities of structured data cabling. Working with them to design and install the cabling system for your server room lays the perfect foundation for any business’ computer infrastructure.
