In need of structured cabling services?

Business IT systems are notorious for being messy and hard to maintain. Often, they are set up quickly and items are added over time without planning or oversight. This results in horrific IT cabinets that are difficult to maintain reliably. Under these circumstances, small changes can result in major outages due to unexpected results that take a long time to diagnose and fix.

Accel IT says no to this. Our technicians always ensure that cable work is neat, system design is clear, and IT is set up for long term maintainability.

Unmanaged data cabling in your network rack can be hurting your business.

Unmanaged Cabling

Messy cabling arrangements not only make maintenance tasks challenging and time-consuming but also create obstacles when upgrading to new technologies and implementing advancements.

Decreased Office Space

Office space is often occupied beyond necessity, resulting in inefficiency and wasted resources. Additionally, excessive noise pollution can disrupt productivity and create distractions.

Longer Downtime

Inconsistent rack layouts across different sites result in increased maintenance costs, primarily due to prolonged troubleshooting processes. It could also be a potential fire hazard.

Warning

Carelessness in cabling can serve as an indicator of carelessness in general. The way wiring is installed and maintained can reflect the level of attention to detail and professionalism in a broader sense.

Data Cable Standards For Your Business

Different situations require varying strategies when it comes to implementing structured cabling standards. For instance, working on a converted older building may necessitate innovative solutions, whereas modern office buildings are designed with these codes in mind.
