Your office may be moving to a new location, or construction of your new office is going on; in any of these cases you need to install a cable network or upgrade the existing one. Though, the entire process may turn out to be quite untidy with the tangles of cables hanging everywhere. Installing network cabling can be clumsy unless you hire professional services to put things in order. Such network is used for having connectivity with various network devices such as desktop, laptop, printing and scanning machines within an organization. For network cabling, different types of high-quality cables are available. If you are looking for low-bandwidth networking at your location, then Cat 5 cabling could be ideal for the that purpose. 

   
Cat5 cable has been in use for structured cabling such as Ethernet, and it is a twisted pair of cable for network signals. This cable contains four pairs of copper wire, and supports speed up to 100 Mbps. Like all other types of twisted pair cabling, Cat5 cable has a maximum recommended run length of 100m (328 feet).

For an efficient and tidy network, the following factors need to be considered:

1. Use Category 5 cables since those are made of copper wires of good quality;
2. These cables need to be used as per the voice and data transmission requirement. Thus it saves unnecessary cost of cabling and also the office will look clean;
3. Post-installation of these cables, it is very important that the service provider do proper testing. It will remove the glitches from the networking and will save the cost of repair; 
4. Instead of using separate cables, and a single cable should be used for both voice and data. Separate cabling makes the maintenance work complicated and increases cost.

You can choose to install any of the two types of Cat5 cables called solid and stranded. Solid cable is suitable for longer length runs and ideal for fixed wiring configurations. On the other hand, stranded cable is more pliable and suitable for shorter distance. A reputed service provider can take care of all the hassles of cabling by providing end-to-end services.
