Data Done Right - experts in structured cabling

Structured Cabling (now frequently referred to as data cabling or network cabling) is the physical layer that delivers all your organization's information and voice communications. A poorly designed network cabling system may decrease your network performance and cause communication errors.

DATA DONE RIGHT - experts in structured cabling

With the advent of VoIP (voice over IP), voice communications are now delivered on the same network cable plant as computer applications thus requiring an upgrade to higher quality data cabling.

Clients are now replacing lower grade Cat 3 and Cat 5 voice cable systems with higher performance Category 5e and Category 6 network cabling systems.
