A J M use a variety of installation methods depending on whether or not you have fixed or suspended ceilings and if you have solid or stud walls. We try to hide the majority of the cable in voids so the installation is aesthetically pleasing.
When we design your network we use a standard configuration:
The data outlets are run in CAT5E or CAT6 LSZH cable and run back to a patch cabinet; the cables are then terminated into patch panels. Patch leads are used to patch the network switches to the patch panels.
The cabinets are linked together with 50/125 OM2 grade fibre cable, this is terminated in SC fibre patch panels. Fibre SC patch leads are used to patch the network switches to the patch panel.
In a big installation one cabinet is used as a back bone cabinet. In this cabinet a back bone switch is installed and all the satellite cabinets are connected together in a 1000Mb back bone (1Gig).
We also have a Wirless solution which is designed to compliment your existing infrastructure and is by no means a replacement of a structured cabling solution.
A J M use Level One's Wap-0003V2 units which use 802.11g the latest standard, in turbo mode you can achieve speeds of 108Mb's. To power the units we recommend Power Over Ethernet injectors and splitters. When used, these units can be used over your existing cabling.
For larger wireless installations, A J M use Level One's GSW-1291 12 port 10/100/1000 POE Smart Switch this has built in Power Over Ethernet. Along with the WAP-0005 which is the same as the WAP-0003V2 but is has built in POE which means it is directly powered by the GSW-1291, with no need for separate POE injectors and splitters
