Are you changing a small, work at home project to a more serious business? Are you a small business leader who needs a more efficient computer system layout that doesn't involve constantly-disconnecting wireless internet and tacky cabling all over the carpet? Cabling contractors aren't just for big businesses, and you don't need to rely on a friend or relative to perform every aspect of your tech and electrical work.

Here are a few ways that a business cabling solutions team can come to the rescue with targeted upgrades and cable efficiency.

Hidden Cabling Infrastructure For Networks

Although electrical wires have long been a standard, hidden part of building construction, many homes and businesses keep their internet and internal network cables strewn across floors and walls. They're trip hazards at the worst, and an eyesore at the very least without proper cable management.

Installing network cabling between the walls has multiple benefits. In addition to hiding your cabling and making the building more presentable, it reduces the length of cable needed to reach different areas of the building and cuts down on network travel time. Meters of networking cable can mean the difference between a few milliseconds--which may not sound like a lot in average human reaction time, but it all adds up with all other delays in networks.

Small switches and other networking devices can be installed in the walls as well. Although heavy-duty switches will need proper ventilation and enough room for multiple technicians to access the ports at different times, a small, handheld switch with four or fewer ports can be installed as a junction box in a safe/vault-like enclosure in the walls.

Audio/Video Management

If your business has a surveillance system or uses cameras for live streaming, you'll need to reinforce the cabling. Fiber optical cables used for high-speed data or normal cables that have plastic terminators can be easily unplugged by accidents by people walking by, intentionally tampered with by intruders, or plucked away by small animals.

To protect your video and sound systems that may have outdoor connections, a cable management professional can add protective sheathing to the cable length and a cover or cap to the connector area. In addition, any cables that run the risk of being cut or spliced for hacking can be rigged with a tamper alarm.
