7 Reasons To Use High Quality Cabling In Your Network

Selecting the best, most well-matched data cables for the setup of your company network is one of the most astute business decisions an I.T. department can make.

There are countless reasons why the quality of the cabling you install for your network must be as close to flawless as humanly possible. Here are the top 7 of them.

1. Network Reliability Affects Revenue

The need for reliability in your company’s voice and data network is directly linked with a need to fulfill the prevention of profit loss. Most companies rely heavily on the internet connection, intranet connection, and the hardware peripherals connected via your network cables.

While some offices use wireless for certain connections, Ethernet is faster and preferable for signal quality and consistency. Almost all business organizations will need Ethernet and other types of network cables to configure their networks properly.

2. Crosstalk Must Be Avoided for Proper Data Speed and Stability

Cross talk is the bleeding of an electrical signal from one wire or cable into another adjacent wire or cable. This can cause many undesired effects such as data errors, delays, and complete network slowdowns. When you purchase network cabling, make sure that you purchase the right types and the accessories needed to ensure they are properly shielded to minimize crosstalk issues.

3. Installation Requires Much Work and Labor Charges

There are many steps involved in the installation of network cabling. At their hefty hourly rates, the labor charges for I.T. experts to install this precious resource into your business buildings can add up quickly.

Certainly, it is worth the investment, but it is not a process to take flippantly. Getting the right products from your network cabling company the first time is the key to keeping the expense down to a reasonable budget range.

4. Upgrading is Expensive and Time-Consuming

Get the best, most reliable (and most expensive, if necessary) network cabling solutions the first time. Do not try out the budget, low grade cables first, in hopes they will “suffice.” Again, when it comes to I.T. department’s rates and the productivity you need from these employees for other important duties, you cannot afford to cut corners or the quality of your network’s wiring. It also takes a substantial amount of time to replace network cables and the downtime of the network can cause revenue loss issues.

5. Signal Degradation/Loss (Attentuation) Occurs in Some Long Cables

The quality of the signal in your cables can degrade or be lost entirely over long distances. This is obviously unacceptable, and not something your I.T. department wants to discover after a full installation has already been completed.

Purchasing the best quality cables in the first place, again, is the best prevention mechanism. You should also research the right cables for your setup. Contact the customer support at the network cabling company if you are unsure.

6. A Poor SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) can Also Affect Signal Quality

The ratings for Signal to Noise, or “SNR” vary from one cable to another. Noise can cause interference which also in turn can create network stability and speed issues. Your I.T. department should try to order network wiring that boasts a Signal to Noise ratio that is as low as possible – even if the network setup budget must be adapted accordingly.

7. Client Satisfaction is affected by Network Quality

Finally, your clients will be receiving phone and internet communications, files and other critical data. You cannot afford to disrupt this transfer due to an entire set of poorly selected network cables. The revenue losses associated with losing clients is immeasurable.
