What does it take to properly install Ethernet cables? Most have heard of Cat 5 or Cat 6, but not everyone understands the intricacies of cross-talk, attenuation loss, and the myriad of other characteristics which make up a reliable installation. Our cabling team have the training and experience to install your Ethernet cabling with the excellence you expect and require.
When links need to run over 100m, fibre optic cables are the go-to choice for most applications. If your need is 200m between rooms, or 7000′ underground, we can get the job done right. Our installers are trained by Corning Cable Systems, the leaders in this industry – this means not only do we have the skills, but can offer a 25-year warranty, backed by Corning, on our work. We also have the tools required to install and test our work properly. Our Corning OptiSplice Fusion Splicer provides for fused-on pigtails or mid-span repairs, while our Corning UniCam kit allows for the installation of mechanical connectors.
No fibre job is complete until the fibre has been properly tested. This is where our Fluke DTX-1800 comes in handy. This tool allows us to complete both Link-Loss, and bi-directional OTDR tests on each strand of fibre we install. OTDR tests have also proven to be quite handy when helping our clients troubleshoot faults within their existing fibre installations. For each fibre ECM installs, we provide our clients with a report showing our summary, along with the raw Link-Loss and OTDR reports – this allows you our customer to independently verify that the fibre work you receive from ECM meets both your and ECM’s high standards for excellence.
Moving a wall to support new employees? Purchased a new printer for the hallway? Organizations are frequently expanding and reorganizing their space to support the needs of their business, and with these changes comes the requirement for network connectivity in new locations. ECM can quickly professionally install new network cables where and when you need them. We believe our attention to excellence sets us apart, and we’ll do our best to ensure when the job is complete, you see this as well.
Are your needs are a bit larger than a new network jack or two? No problem. From floor renovations, to new buildings, we have the capacity to scale to your job needs. Our cabling crews are skilled at executing larger projects on-time, and on-budget. We’ll make sure we take care of your network cabling worries, allowing you to focus on other areas of preparing your building for occupancy.
Our Promise of Excellence:
To ensure the network cables we deploy is reliable and dependable, every link is tested and certified before we complete the job. Our Fluke DTX cable certifier runs more than a dozen tests to ensure the quality of our work. More than just cable length and wiremap, we text cross-talk, interference, and the many other characteristics necessary to ensure the quality of our work. A detailed report will be provided allowing you to independently verify our work.
From an industrial warehouse to thousands of feet underground in a mine, the need for Ethernet cabling is stronger than ever. Some needs however require cables which themselves are stronger than ever. Our experience working with a variety of specialty cables helps ensure that whatever the task, and whatever the need, we can provide you with reliable cabling infrastructure, using the proper materials for the need.
Some of the areas we’ve seen the need for industrial cables include:
There is no doubt that mines and mining plants have a special need for tough cable. By far the strongest cable we deploy uses steel-interlocking armour to help protect against the inherent hazards of industrial locations.
There are a seemingly unending number of locations which require a stronger cable than standard office cabling, without the expense of steel armoured cables. Lightly-armoured cables are perfect for these locations. By using a combination of metal foil and multiple jacket layers, these cables provide the protection you need at a lower cost.
From cables with Kevlar armour, to water-blocking gel, to electro-magnetic shielding, the breath of cables available is seemingly endless. You can rely on us to help guide you through the numerous options and provide the right cable for the right job.
Working in industrial areas calls for enhanced safety protocols to manage the inherent risks for these locations. Additional information can be found here (link to Safety page in About), but in short you can trust that we have the experience, and the training to work in your industrial location safely. Pre-job hazard reviews, daily safety talks, and good communication with our site contacts are but a few of the methods we use to help ensure our work is completed safely. We will take care to ensure our employees, our clients, other contractors, and the materials we use are all treated with the diligence required to complete our work without incident.
