It's more than a cord

An emerging trend, we have seen lately in the structured cabling field, is far too many electricians performing low voltage cable installation. Most of the time we see these types of installations, we are called to fix problems with network drops, cable testing, and even rerunning the networking cable installation. This is the reason we want to highlight why you need to use a low voltage cabling company for your network cabling services and data cabling.

Network cable technicians are allowed to do up to 50% of the tasks that electronic technicians do. This is important because electronic technicians focus on analog and digital media systems, while electricians do not work with technology as a primary responsibility.

Cabling technicians work with data and electricians work with electricity. Cabling technicians need to be educated on the relevant standards that define cabling specifications and requirements to properly design, install, or work on any part of telecommunications or a network.

Cable testing is a thorough analysis done by a trained technician. Certification products, such as those sold by Fluke Networks, provide data and compliance verification to submit for completion reports and governmental records.
