No. We make the internet in your office work for everyone inside by extending it from the incoming source to each device and workstation that needs access to the internet or internal devices within the network.

Yes. We can fusion splice the fiber optic strands at the point of failure or replace either a segment or the entire span of cable depending on the situation, time line and costs of each. We can install an aerial or underground splice case or wall mounted splice enclosure depending on the application.

Possibly. We will request a site survey to see the actual site conditions to make the determination. Often the existing cables are worth re-using if relatively new & in good condition, however often times the cables are of mixed types, poorly installed, not labeled & may be in need of updating or completely removed and replaced with new.

It is best to have a single cable type for consistency purposes, however others have used dedicated patch panel types or with flexible ports to accommodate each of the cable types that need to be terminated and patched into. A survey will be best to see the quality of the cable, the installation, supports, etc. Each case is unique and should be evaluated independently to determine what is best for networking purposes.

No. Plenum refers to the rating of the outer jacket on the cable and conductors. It is made to produce less toxic fumes at higher temperatures than standard indoor cable. The transmission speeds are the same when comparing plenum vs riser. Plenum rated cable comes with a premium cost, so it is generally used where required but avoided when not required by code.

Possibly. VoIP telephones require data grade cable to work properly. Your VoIP provider may have specific cable requirements but generally a 100 Mb/Sec throughput will suffice. Often the PC is patched to the telephone to share a single data port and save from having to run an additional data cable to each workstation. Generally, a Cat 5e cable or better will work.

In Washington State, if you are the building owner and occupant, then the state does allow for owners to pull a permit and complete the work. All other electrical installation or repair work requires a licensed electrical contractor to perform all electrical work, including telephone and data. A lot of people do their own work, however this can produced mixed results regarding network dependability as well as code compliance.

Possibly however unless all wireless devices are within signal reach of your wireless modem, then additional wires will be needed to add wireless access points. VoIP telephones are mostly wired and require power to operate. Surveillance cameras can be wireless but also need power to function properly. PoE ports can provide power and data to most devices on the network. We recommend a mixture of wireless devices combined with wired connections where power or network connections are critical.
