FAQ

What is structured cabling?

Structured cabling is an organized system of cables and hardware that supports voice, data, and network communication within a building.

When should a facility upgrade its network cabling?

Upgrades are typically needed when experiencing slow network speeds, adding new technology systems, or expanding a facility.

Is there a difference between “communications” and “low voltage” systems?

The terms “communications” and “low voltage” are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same.

Low voltage is a broad category that refers to electrical systems operating at a lower voltage level, typically under 50 volts. This includes a wide range of systems such as data cabling, security systems, access control, audio visual, fire alarm, and building automation.

Communications is a more specific term within low voltage that focuses on systems used to transmit data and information. This typically includes structured cabling, fiber optics, network infrastructure, and voice or data systems.

In practice, many contractors use “low voltage” as a general term, while “communications” is used when specifically referring to data and network-related systems.

What does a low voltage contractor do?

Low voltage contractors install communication systems such as data cabling, fiber optics, wireless networks, and security infrastructure.
