Achieving the optimal wire and cable system infrastructure requires the active involvement of the design team and building owners throughout the design process. Cellular deck and infloor duct systems, for example, must be considered early in the process. Reducing building flexibility. Failing to consider the impact of future technology. Encouraging a patchwork of unattractive stopgap wiring methods.
Excessive capacity can also compound design and aesthetic problems.
A growing number of workstations also need specialized services, such as desktop video. This means accessibility for change-out is essential. The cabling infrastructure must also accommodate the required bend radius of fiber optic and high-performance copper cable. Make sure the system will have the expected bandwidth and technical performance when needed. The cabling infrastructure must be flexible for moves, adds, and changes with minimal down time.
