Premise Wiring

Belkin, C2G, Hubbell, Leviton, Ortronics, Panduit, Siig, and StarTech.com are among the top manufacturers within the premise wiring industry. These companies not only make the hardware for premise wiring, but also produce the accessory modules and other devices which support the main infrastructure to maximize performance. Although each of these products has its differences, they all share the characteristics of easy maintenance and installation as well as the ability to expand.

Other characteristics of network wiring that a government/educational agency should consider include the ability of that wiring to incorporate itself into current operations. It should also be compatible with the latest network software that is incorporated within the agency in order to provide the mechanical backbone for operations. Depending on the size of the agency, different requirements for redundant pathways as well as grounding paths should be considered in order to avoid power surges and outages during times of increased usage. Agencies should also consider the demarcation of their wiring systems before finalizing a premise wiring purchase.Close
