Commercial & Industrial Data Cabling Contractors

 

As information technology continues to ingrain itself into most businesses, there’s an ongoing need for data network cabling that streamlines a company’s infrastructure. Many businesses choose structured cabling because its modular concept makes upgrading and reconfiguring their systems easier and future-proofs their setups to a certain degree. This concept involves network cabling that consists of multiple standardized components all based around a highly organized framework. Although this simplifies networking for the user, it requires an experienced contractor to ensure the smoothest and most effective network cabling installation.

INDUSTRIAL & COMMERCIAL DATA CABLING 

 

Most standard electrical contractors aren’t up to the challenge when it comes to delivering cabling solutions for tough industrial environments. Warehouses, distribution centers, and factories offer unique considerations such as electromagnetic interference from heavy machinery, especially long cable runs, extreme temperatures, and ruggedized requirements. Without the right expertise, any of these can have a significant negative effect on the performance of data cabling. Dubak’s experience with these facilities means we ensure data cabling will be robust enough to last and provide the right level of performance. With locations in the Chicago area, Indianapolis, Iowa, Virginia, and Florida, we’re the right choice for multi-site and large-scale industrial deployments.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 
 

What is low-voltage cabling, and do I need a licensed contractor for it? 

 

Unlike power cabling, low-voltage cabling is used to carry communications signals. It is commonly found in data networks, automation connections, and audio/visual systems. Having a licensed contractor install these systems ensures clean signals without the risk of corrupted data or interference from other equipment.  

  

What is the difference between Cat5 and Cat6? 

  

The key difference between these two cabling standards comes down to bandwidth. Cat5 has an upper limit of 100 MHz, while Cat6 has 250 MHz available. This means Cat6 cabling installations offer a better signal-to-noise ratio that provides more reliability and room for future expansions. 

  

Should I use Cat6? 

  

If you’re worried about needing to upgrade all existing equipment by choosing Cat6, don’t. Cat6 cabling is backward-compatible with all Cat5 standards, so it’s a good idea to choose Cat6 so you’ll have the available bandwidth you will most likely need in the future. 

  

What is fiber optic cable? 

  

Fiber optic cabling transmits data in the form of light pulses through translucent fibers. Unlike traditional copper cables, these are more reliable and aren’t subject to electrical interference that can degrade signal quality. 

  

What is patch cable? 

  

Made from stranded wires, patch cables are used to connect dedicated cabling ports to the equipment found in a communications cabinet. 

  

What is a network cabinet? 

  

This is an installment consisting of numerous racks that house networking components and hardware. These help keep equipment organized and allow for proper ventilation to prevent overheating. 

 

How long does a commercial or industrial data cabling installation take? 

 

The timeline of your data cabling project will depend on the size of your facility, the scope of the installation, the number of drops needed, and any phasing strategies needed to keep operational disruptions to a minimum.  

 

What certifications and standards should a data cabling contractor meet? 

 

Contractors should be certified in ANSI/TIA standards to ensure they have the necessary expertise and will work within the expected guidelines. Working with certified contractors means the best chance at receiving the maximum value from the investment.  

 

Can cabling be installed without disrupting an active facility or production floor? 

 

With the right strategy for phasing, data infrastructure work can be completed without causing major disruptions or outages. Dubak works closely with facility managers to coordinate off-hours work and phased installations when working in live industrial and commercial environments.
