From new network installations and infrastructure upgrades to office moves and additional data points, TeleCentric provides complete structured cabling solutions across Birmingham. Our engineers install Cat6, Cat6A and fibre optic systems from leading manufacturers, with every installation fully tested before handover. TeleCentric also operates an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system.
A professionally installed structured cabling system provides a reliable foundation for your business’s computers, phones, WiFi access points, security systems and other connected technology.
TeleCentric designs structured network cabling around the current and future requirements of each Birmingham premises. This creates an organised, scalable system that is easier to maintain, upgrade and troubleshoot while helping to minimise network disruption.
Each of our engineers has the following:
Our data cabling Birmingham services are designed to improve network performance while making your infrastructure easier to manage, maintain and expand.
High quality cabling systems increase data transfer speeds and give you better network performance.
The system can be easily scaled up or down or can even move locations as your business grows.
More efficient maintenance, low energy consumption and reduced downtime all contribute to a high return on your investment.
An organised cabling system makes it easier to manage and administer the network with minimal disruption.
Structured systems create a more controlled environment for data transmission and access, reducing potential security breaches.
Network failures and downtime are minimised. Systems are also easier to troubleshoot, preventing human error and increasing productivity.
TeleCentric installs commercial copper data cabling across Birmingham and the West Midlands. Following an assessment of your premises, network requirements and future expansion plans, our engineers will recommend the most suitable cabling category for your business.
Cat 6 is a good standard for small to medium-sized business networks, offering a cost-effective balance of performance and compatibility.
It supports speeds of up to 10 Gbps (Gigabits per second) up to 55 metres, and has a bandwidth of up to 250 MHz.
Cat 6a offers a significant upgrade over Cat6, with bandwidth up to 250 MHz and full 10 Gbps up to 100 metres. It also has enhanced shielding and reduced crosstalk for greater reliability.
While Cat 7 offers increased bandwidth again, with up to 600 MHz and 10 Gbps over 100 metres, it uses non-standard GG45 connections which are not universally compatible with standard RJ45 ports.
It can be recommended for sectors requiring robust network solutions, but is often a more expensive solution compared to the lower category options.
The Construction Products Regulation (CPR) relates to a cable’s reaction to fire. It applies to any power, data or communications cable which is deemed to be permanent once installed.
Cables are a particular concern for building fires as they often run between rooms and floors and above ceilings. CPR is crucial for electrical cables to ensure that they contribute to building safety rather than posing additional risks in a fire.
Data and communications cables includes copper, fibre, coax, and multi-conductor cables, with the exception of patch leads.
Each layer of the supply chain, whether manufacturers, distributors, specifiers or installers have clear responsibilities to comply with CPR.
Cables are assigned a Euroclass classification from A to F. Fire tests are conducted and independently verified by a Notified Body to give them their CPR (Euroclass) verification rating.
It is up to the designer, specifier or installer to satisfy themselves that products chosen are appropriate for the application and meet any contractual requirements.
Care will be taken to assess the risk of fire within a building, and the potential ease of evacuation. The appropriate CPR class of cable will be specified for the appropriate fire risks in the building or application.
Fibre optic cable uses thin strands of glass or plastic to transmit data. Its high-bandwidth ability makes it ideal for large sites or long distances where high-speed data is required. We specialise in both single-mode and multimode fibre optic cabling.
NB: lasses A to E have to be tested by an independent authorized laboratory (notified body).Most cables will fall into classes B2ca to Eca. For a cable to meet B1ca, B2ca or Cca, there also needs to be regular factory audits.
