Overview of Basic Networking
A LAN is the most basic form of networking and involves linking a series of computers to each other or to a server. A LAN contains both hardware and software. The network hardware provides the physical connections between PCs. The network software provides the communications intelligence that lets desktop applications see other users on the network.
DOIMNANT System Integrators (DSI) has over eighteen years of combined structured cabling design experience. DSI has experience in vertical and horizontal connectivity projects spanning a wide variety of industrial and commercial network cabling applications, as well as expertise in all aspects of network topologies and LAN solutions such as: CAT 5e, CAT 6 and Fiber Optic network design. Whether upgrading current cabling networks, relocating offices or up-fitting facilities, Network Cabling Systems has the experience and capabilities to provide your IT staff with an accurate scope of work, bid drawings and RFP documents that will eliminate costly change orders as the project unfolds.
Backbone Cabling
DOIMNANT System Integrators specializes in providing backbone cabling – the connectivity between entrance facilities, equipment rooms, and telecommunications rooms. Backbone Cabling runs between wiring closets and the equipment room. Physical backbone cabling is UTP, STP, or Fiber Optics depending on application and distance.
Backbone cabling consists of cables that connect the telecommunication closets, the termination of cable elements and the reconnection of those elements by jumpers, termination blocks, and/or cables to another cabling element (cable or patch panel).
Premise Cabling
A sound infrastructure in any organization begins with the cabling. Whether we are working with a bare-bones building or existing facility, our cabling engineers have the expertise to insure a professional installation. Cable is the medium through which information usually moves from one network device to another. There are several types of cable which are commonly used with LANs.
In some cases, a network will utilize only one type of cable, other networks will use a variety of cable types. The type of cable chosen for a network is related to the network`s topology, protocol, and size. Understanding the characteristics of different types of cable and how they relate to other aspects of a network is necessary for the development of a successful network.
