Morse Communications, Inc. Cabling Division offers professional design and implementation of all types of voice, data, and security infrastructures. Our in house Registered Communications Distribution Designer provides professional design as well as implementation. Our Lead Installation Technicians are all BICSI and manufacturer specific trained and certified.
Morse Communications also provides professional project management services with all installations. Our Project Management team is responsible for all aspects of the pre-installation, installation, and closeout processes that include: submittals, AutoCAD, scheduling, customer interface, closeout documentation, and quality control.
Cabling Design & Installation
The following sections show more about cabling infrastructure elements, and how they can be used for your communications cabling objectives.
- Voice, Data, Cabling Services - Network cabling carries the lifeblood of your organization - information. To minimize expensive data network problems, Morse Communications Infrastructure Solutions follows strict installation and testing guidelines.
- Coax Cabling Services - A critical piece of the infrastructure puzzle for our customers. Coax has been the medium of choice for high fidelity audio, television, satellite and broadband communications.
- Twisted Pair Cabling Services - Unshielded Twisted Pair has been designed for use in voice applications and local area networks. Because of the relatively low cost this cable is widely used and is available in several different performance categories.
- Fiber Optic Cabling Services - We install, terminate and test multi-mode and single-mode fiber. We've kept abreast of advances in the manufacture, termination and testing standards of fiber optic cable.
- Server Room Installation Services - Because the server room is the centralized brain of your structured cabling system, we take special care to design and install it according to the highest standards.
Voice, Data Cabling Services
Today, your network cabling system carries the lifeblood of your organization - information. The installation, material, quality of cable and testing procedures are all much more critical in data wiring than in voice. The main reason for this is that networks today are designed to carry large amounts of information at incredible speeds. To accomplish this over unshielded twisted pair cable (UTP), many different criteria must be met.
Who sets the criteria and standards for network cabling? Well, the three major players are The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE - commonly called I-triple-E ) who work on developing new protocols, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), and the Telecommunications Industry
Association / Electronic Industry Alliance (TIA/EIA) who issue the standards and testing procedures.
With bandwidth increasing and reliance on the network at an all time high, getting information to where it needs to be is becoming more challenging than ever. Cabling problems, which account for over 50% of network problems, cost companies millions annually. Cable must be installed following strict and specific guidelines and the testing must be done using the right equipment calibrated for the latest standards
Coax Cabling Services
Coaxial cable is used primarily in Video, Audio and Security for video surveillance
Coaxial cables carry a nominal impedance of between 35 and 185 ohms. The three most common coax cables are 50 ohms (most widely used in thin-net Ethernet), 75 ohms (the cable your most likely using at home for your TV or cable modem) and 93 ohms, which is rarely used.
Coax cable can support much higher bandwidths than unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable. The most efficient transfer of energy, over coax, occurs when all parts of the system have the same impedance.
The most common type of coax, called Flexible Coax, is a flexible cable, which uses a braided shield of extremely fine wires. This braid helps to make the coax flexible, but at a cost: energy or RF (radio frequency) signals leak through the small gaps in the braid. To combat this attenuation (energy loss), manufacturers have added several layers of braid and placed thin foil between the layers. This provides better coverage for greater shielding effectiveness. We normally use a quad shield (two layers of braid, two of foil) for 75-ohm applications.
Even though coax makes up a small percentage of our total installations, it is still a critical piece of the infrastructure puzzle for our customers. Coax has been the medium of choice for high fidelity audio, television, satellite and broadband communications.
