Low Voltage Cabling represents approximately 80% of your Network Efficiency!
As a structured cabling provider, ECS can help you design and install Low Voltage Cabling that will provide reliable communications, regardless of what applications the future brings.
A well designed/installed structured cabling infrastructure will support your wired and wireless networks and provide you a flexible growth model and a pathway to implement new/evolving technologies for data and voice.
CAT5e, CAT6, CAT6A, CAT7, and CAT7A Low Voltage Cables are all manufactured with 4-twisted pairs.
Most large/major/reputable Cable Manufacturers provide Low Voltage Cable that meets/exceeds the minimum industry standards.
You should ONLY use Low Voltage Cables that meet/exceed NEC, ANSI and IEEE standards.
CAT5e Cable supports Gigabit Ethernet at 100-MHz frequency up to 100 Meters (328’)
