Voice Data Cabling

Structured Voice and Data Cabling Replacement

Voice and data cabling replacement improves technology performance for your Phoenix business

Simply put, computer cabling needs far more attention than it did a few years ago.

What might be to blame if you’re not getting the speed you need from your network?  Well, computers connected to faulty network cables are the most likely culprit.  In such situations computers can generate excess retry packets, causing the whole network to slow down.  Despite this being something of a common occurrence, many network experts give little or no thought to cabling or cable components.  As a result  these problems can go undetected.

Problems Leading to VoIP Data Cabling Replacement:

  • Home-made patch cords
  • Improper cable stripping
  • Improper jack terminations
  • Too-tight cable bundling
