STRUCTURED CABLING

OVERVIEW

Often the forgotten component of any network design, your cabling infrastructure can become your biggest headache.  Designing and planning a structured cabling plant design for your building or office simplifies management of moves, additions and changes, which comprise a majority of your day-to-day administration headaches and provides you with a reliable infrastructure for data transport.  With our expertise in the design and installation of voice and data networks, you can rest assured that your infrastructure solution is giving you the performance it should.

Cassius designs, installs and maintains structured cabling systems (Ethernet, single and multi-mode fiber optic as well as telecoms) based upon the specific needs of your company or business.  Our structured cabling system designs:

     Allow for additions, moves and changes, quickly and easily

     Allow growth with minimal incremental cost

     Accommodate a wide variety of hardware configurations and network topologies

     Integrate with any computer and telephone system to allow for maximum interchangeability and flexibility

Installation services include implementation of any cabling design and our maintenance service extends to providing support for any of our installations as well as non-Cassius installations.

Documentation of Network and Cabling Systems              back to top

Network and cabling system documentation is generated graphically using Visio or AutoCAD.  We can produce professional full color illustrations and documentation. These services include logical network design, cable routing, user outlet referencing, punch block layout, and patch panel systems for any network.

High Quality Products

Our infrastructure solutions generally incorporate industry-leading solutions, which when installed, provide the customer with a product warranty.  We have experience with most major manufacturers’ products and can accommodate any specific client request. Products include but are not limited to the following:

Testing and Certification                                                   back to top

Many people "install" network cabling, but fail to actually test it.  Devices may light up at both ends of the connection, but how do you really know that you're getting 100Mbps or 1000mbps and maybe not 10Mbps?  When network problems arise, do you really want to have to worry about the wiring being suspect?

Because of the demanding requirements of today's network infrastructure, the only true way to confirm that your cable infrastructure actually meets the specifications and quality level that you've purchased is to test it.  We test and certify all twisted-pair cabling for Category 5e/6 compliance (where applicable). We also test and certify all our fiber optic cabling installations.  Once Cassius Group completes an infrastructure installation, you can be assured that your physical infrastructure meets the specs that you paid for. 

Warranty Information

Cassius stands behind our work with a unique Lifetime Warranty, which states that we warrant the workmanship of our cabling for the lifetime of its installation.  Materials are warranted for one (1) year, or the duration of the manufacturers’ warranty, whichever is longer.

Quality and the True Cost of Ownership                           back to top

These extra levels of detail are part of the reason why there can be such a variance in cabling installation costs.  Many customers mistakenly presume that "cabling is cabling" and hire non-qualified or lowest-cost personnel, without the proper tools or training to install sensitive network infrastructure.  Network infrastructures require entirely different installation processes than electrical or simple telephone wiring, and we believe that we provide a superior solution that allows the customer to not worry about their cabling infrastructure once it has been installed.

Computer Room & Data Center Design

Cassius has expertise with the design of Computer Rooms, Data Centers, Telecommunications Rooms, and Equipment Closets.

Whether it is the design and build of a new data center, expanding an existing data center, upgrading your current data center – each of these project alternatives can be complex, time-consuming, and capital-intensive. Cassius Group’s data center design consultants specialise in the design (not over-design) of data center environments with the capabilities and capacities required to meet today’s needs, while remaining flexible and scaleable enough to grow into tomorrow.

We can provide numerous services including:  

     Inventory and documentation of existing client equipment

     Documentation of existing voice and data circuits and facilities

     Coordination with equipment vendors

     Space planning and design development for new equipment rooms

     Comprehensive specifications for raised floors and overhead cable management

     Complete equipment matrix detailing power, HVAC, loading, and space requirements

     CAD drawings showing layout of equipment rooms, and equipment racks

     Design of Data Center/Equipment room fiber and copper cabling for complete equipment connectivity
