Basics On Low Voltage Cabling Fremont CA

By Laura Jackson


There are various types of cabling that can be done in a house. Low voltage cabling Fremont CA is the cabling that is done in for internet access, CCTV or TV. It typically involves installing one cable comprising two coaxial cables and two cat 5e, one could also use cat6 instead of the cat5e cables. The cables are bundled together making the installation process faster.

Some of the major benefits are that installation is made so much easier and makes it possible for homes to have internet connectivity as well as TV via the coaxial cables and therefore entertainment is also provided for. These cables should start from a single location.

There are different types of cables as well as their advantages and disadvantages. The first type is the twisted pair cables, they are twisted in order to reduce cross-talk. There are two types of twisted cables which are the unshielded and the shielded twisted pair cables.

They are inexpensive to purchase and is the most easily installed of all cable types. Its undoing is that it is typically affected by electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. Shielded twisted cables are mostly used in offices. For homes, the unshielded twisted cables are commonly used for internet access.

The coaxial cables are usually used for transmitting video and is also used to connect TV to their cable TV companies. The coaxial cable type particularly used for this purpose is the RG-6. It Is normally pricier than cables but is cheaper than fiber optic cables. One of the disadvantage of this cable type is that it only is capable of transmitting video signals. Data and voice signals would need another cable type for transmission.

One could choose the wireless technology compared to wiring which is definitely a better option if the house is already done. Since wiring would involve installing the cables into the walls. With a house that is still under construction it is easier to wire. The disadvantage associated with wireless technologies is that they have a lower bandwidth and are more prone to interference such as walls and fluorescent light bulbs.

wire-ring must also be properly done to avoid encountering some problems such as lower performance in terms of bandwidth, that is for internet wire-ring. Also, improper installation leads to attenuation which is loss in signal strength. Some of the ways one could fail in wire-ring is by bending or not terminating in the right way. That is with Ethernet cables, the RJ-45 might be improperly placed.

In conclusion, low voltage wire-ring offers a wide variety of option for consumers. Its also important to remember that installation must be properly done. One should ensure that they correctly terminate the cat5e and cat6 cables. When handling fiber optics, one should ensure proper splicing and handling to prevent bending. Twisting should also be avoided every time. Problems avoided by the right installation included reduced efficiency and loss of signals.
