| Structured Cabling: Future-Proofing Your Business |
|
With the constant influx of technology advancements, it may seem as though your business spends much of its time and resources just trying to keep up. Products that you recently thought of as “advanced technology” quickly become legacy systems. And, because new technology often equates to increased efficiency and positive impacts to the bottom line, it’s vital for businesses to use technology as a means to stay ahead of the competition.
So, where should you start? The foundation of any progressive network is in the cabling. A state-of-the-art structured cabling (or wiring) system not only offers advanced features, it provides you with the ultimate versatile and reliable network. Its flexibility and durability mean that as your business grows, your network easily expands to meet your demands. This is the backbone for future-proofing your business.
Whether you install structured cabling with the building of a new business, or retrofit it to an existing one, it provides a convergance point for all voice, data, video and multimedia applications. In its most basic sense, a structured cabling system consists of three components: (1) a central hub which all incoming services connect to and where all wiring originates; (2) high-performance wires and cables which connect each workstation to the central hub; and (3), multi-media outlets at each workstation which enable you to customize the output.
If you envision an office with unlimited technology potential, structured cabling is the solution. Following are just a few of the possibilities:
1. Support multi-vendor equipment
2. Increase resale value of building
3. Move or add workstations just by plugging in
4. Flexibility to meet constantly changing personnel and equipment needs
5. Isolate problems quickly
6. Supports future applications with few, if any, upgrades
7. Internet access at each workstation
8. Door entry access control and surveillance
9. Intercom and paging abilities
10. Videoconferencing
11. Zoned audio control
12. Lighting control
The most impressive quality of a structured cabling system is the flexibility. It enables you to start with the features you need, quickly and easily add additional features later, and it’s future-ready for those advances yet to be developed. It’s this same flexibility that enables businesses to quickly move, add or change workstations which equates to efficient disaster recovery, reduced downtime and disruption, and increased productivity, all of which give your company the competitive advantage.
