Frequently Asked Questions
What cabling should I choose for my office?
For most offices, CAT 6A is the best choice today. It supports 10 Gbps at full 100 meters and provides excellent future-proofing. If budget is tight, CAT 6 is still good for most current applications.
How long does network installation take?
A typical office with 20-30 drops takes 2-3 days for cabling and 1-2 days for active equipment configuration. Larger installations may take 1-2 weeks. We work after hours to minimize disruption.
What's the difference between managed and unmanaged switches?
Managed switches allow you to configure VLANs, prioritize traffic, monitor performance, and enhance security. Unmanaged switches are plug-and-play but offer no control. For business networks, we always recommend managed switches.
Do I need fiber optic cabling?
Fiber is essential for backbone connections between buildings, runs over 100 meters, and environments with high electromagnetic interference. For standard office cabling within a building, copper CAT 6A is usually sufficient.
How often should networks be upgraded?
Cabling infrastructure typically lasts 10-15 years. Active equipment (switches, firewalls) should be reviewed every 3-5 years to ensure security patches and performance meet current needs.
Can you work around our existing infrastructure?
Yes! We specialize in network upgrades and expansions. We can integrate new equipment with your existing systems, minimizing disruption while improving performance and capabilities.
