Structured Voice, Data, & Video Cabling
Micro Networks promotes a "standards and rules
based" installation culture and insist upon best
practices from our field service technicians.
Whether installing a single run or hundreds of runs,
we strive to deliver a well planned and installed
structured cabling system that will provide years of
fault
 free operations. Micro Networks also test and
certifies all cable plant infrastructure to current
industry standards (TIA/EIA and ISO) upon
installation to ensure optimum performance from the
outset.

Unshielded Twisted Pair has been designed for use in
voice applications and local area networks. Because
of the relatively low cost this cable is widely used
and is available in several different performance
categories.
Category 5e
For several years Cat5e has been the standard for
data networks. With
transport speeds up to 100 Mbits/s,
Cat5e cabling provides outstanding service and an
affordable option for most
data network infrastructures. Cat5e replaced Cat5 as
a standard in 2001. The most common applications are
100BASE-T or "common" data networks and the
increasingly popular VOIP systems. With 100Mbit/s
capacity, Cat5e is the most common cable of choice
used today.
This type of cable is used in
structured cabling for computer networks such as
Ethernet and is also used to carry many other
signals such as telephony and video.
Category 6
Category 6 Cable or Cat6 is a cable standard for
gigabit ethernet. As network administrators are
pushing their networks to higher levels of
performance, Cat6 is a desirable alternative to
Cat5e with speeds 10x as fast. Cat 6 is a
communications cable with four twisted copper pairs.
While also having the same distance limitation of
90m for horizontal runs as previous copper
standards, Cat6 Cable meets even more stringent
specifications for both crosstalk and system noise.
As with Cat5e cables, Cat6 also
uses an RJ45 connector for termination. Although a
slightly thicker cable, Cat6 has also been
engineered to be backwards compatible with both the
Cat3 and Cat5e standards. Cat6 supports all
10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, and 1000BASE-T network
standards, and is ideal for high traffic shared
networks utilizing VOIP.
Category 7
Rarely used due to cost or lack of need, Cat 7 is a
copper cable standard designed to support 10 gigabit
ethernet over 100 meters. Category 7 cable or Cat 7
is backwards compatible with Cat 6 and Cat5e ethernet cable, and it performs at frequencies up to
600 MHz.. Cat7 is designed with even more stringent
specifications for dealing with cross talk and
noise. Shielding has been added to each individual
pair to accomplish the superior performance. Cat7
uses both the RJ45 connector as well as GG45
electrical connectors. When termination is done with
TERA connectors, Cat7 cable is rated for
transmissions above 600 MHz.
Voice Cabling Services
Our installation techniques
provide customers with the flexibility to install
any combination of VoIP phones, modems and analog
lines at any location.
Category 3
Cat3 Cable is a UTP, or untwisted pair cable
commonly used for phone system or voice
communications cabling. The popularity of Cat3 cable
as a cost effective means of deploying voice
services remains robust since the majority of
business telephones only require a single pair of
wires to operate. Originally designed to carry data
at up to speeds of 10Mbit/s, Cat3 has been replaced
by Cat5e for higher data speed demands. Cat3 Cable
is typically connected in jacks and telephones with
RJ11 connectors. At the phone system level, Cat3 is
separated and usually punched down on 66 blocks or
110 blocks for ease of integration into your voice
network.
Voice over IP (VoIP)
In
today’s ever changing world of technology, cabling
has become a more and more important consideration
for the installation of phone and data systems.
Telephone systems have traditionally operated using
category 3 cable, but with the voice technology
moving toward broadband transmission, it will become
obsolete sooner than later. This is why more and
more engineers are specifying the higher capacity
category 5e and category 6 standards for voice
Video Cabling Services
Closely associated with coaxial
cable, because most video applications require coax,
but we also install twisted pair cable for certain
video applications such as Networked IP Video Surveillance.
Coax Cabling Services
A critical piece of the infrastructure puzzle for
our customers. Coax has been the medium of choice
for high fidelity audio, television, satellite, and
high speed broadband communications. Coaxial Cable
by definition is a cable with both an inner
conductor and outer conductor through which it
carries its signal.
There are wide arrays of coaxial cable types, but
the most common types used in commercial
applications for video service, video surveillance,
or for high speed networks include RG-6 and RG-59.
For video applications, it is essential to choose a
coax cable that is of the 75 ohm type. Some 50 ohm
Coax cables are suitable for data networks, but are
not sufficient for video transmission.
Plenum Cabling Services
Will the new space require plenum or non-plenum
cabling? The answer to this will depend on the type
of construction used in the new location. If your
cabling will need to run above a ceiling that is
also used as a space for the circulation of air in a
heating, air-conditioning and ventilation system
(plenum space), then you will be required to use
plenum-rated cable. Plenum cable is jacketed with a
fire retardant plastic jacket of either a low-smoke
polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or a fluorinated ethylene
polymer (FEP), which limit the amount of toxic fumes
in the event of a fire. Plenum cabling costs
slightly more than non-plenum wiring, but it's
necessary to maintain code compliance.
Demarc Extension Cabling Services
The Demarc extension is the
connection to the outside world and serves as the
critical component of circuit operations. Demarc
extension is the process of connecting your
organization's network to a data line such as a T1,
DSL, or POTS - provided by the telephone company or
other carrier.
