Cabling
Twisted-pair
‘balanced’ copper cabling (structured cabling), either unshielded (UTP)
or shielded (STP), is the low cost media used as standard for networking a
building for all forms of electronic communications to the desktop (for
computer, telephone & fax applications).
Ramick
Computing install, terminate, test & maintain structured cabling for
local area networks (LANs) using CAT5e/6 copper cabling technologies.
Testing is carried out using a Fluke DSP4300 series Analyser, a
comprehensive cable testing and certification solution. Test results can
be presented as professional, graphical reports depicting measured test
parameters or electronically, in PDF format.
The
demise of copper in favour of high capacity fibre optic cable has been
predicted before, but advanced versions of traditional unshielded twisted
pair (UTP) copper cable have so far kept pace with today's information
technology. However, building a large network, linking a building to an
external data highway or to other buildings, or linking horizontal
networks on each floor of a building to a vertical data trunk will almost
certainly involve fibre optic cables.
