Cat 5 & 6 Issues to Consider
The amount of help you need to install Cat 5/6 cabling often depends on how large of a project you have to complete. Network installations of Cat 5 or 6 for a small, one-room office might be relatively simple for a company like Sydney Data Cabling to handle. However, installing Cat 5 or 6 cables in a multi-story building or other unique situation requires careful planning and safety preparation, much more work than any single person or organization should handle without the help of a professional.
A major issue to consider when installing Cat 5/6 cabling involves the cable’s bend radius. Cat 5 cables can often bend at the rate of four times the diameter of the cable. On the other hand, this depends on whether you’re using the stranded or solid conductor form ofcabling as one is more flexible than the other.
Other issues when installing Cat 5 or 6 cables include how much and what type of existing wires are located in the building you need to setup. Will you need insulation-piercing connectors or insulation-displacement connectors? Solid conductor forms of Cat 5 cables makes reliable connections in insulation-displacement connectors, but not the other type.
You also need to consider hardware when installing Cat 5/6 cabling. This type of cabling can usually be extended around 100 meters. Beyond this length, repeaters and switches can be used to extend the network layout.
