Installing Ethernet Cables? Keep These Things in
Mind!

• In todays world of Internet of Things and
  Industrial Automation, the utility of
  Ethernet Cables has become inevitable. According
  to the concept of Internet of Things, even the
  everyday objects have network connectivity,
  which enables them to send and receive
  data. But in order to make the data
  exchange smooth, it is important to
  install Ethernet Cables properly.
• By doing so, you will be able to decrease the
  downtime and enable the exchange of data
  between your data systems and network
  devices like modems, routers, adapters and other
  objects that ask for a connection. If you are
  installing Ethernet Network Cables, you need to
  keep certain things in mind.
• How to plan for Ethernet Cable Installation?
• Once you have decided the place where
  all your cables will terminate, you can
  plan your Ethernet cable installation. You must
  remember that the location for your cables
  should be big enough to accommodate your
  ongoing project. Also consider the future
  data network expansion plans in your plant.
• In case your cable is going to be exposed to
  extreme environmental conditions, select a cable
  which is flexible and resistant to UV light,

• oil, chemicals, cutting, abrasion, oil etc.
  Thereafter, you need to take the following
  steps
• Choosing an Ethernet Cable
• Before choosing networking cables for yourself,
  you need to know the features of each Ethernet
  cable. Details of each of these cables are given
  below.

CAT5E CAT 5E cables can replace CAT5 and CAT3
and support up to 100Mbps at 100MHz. It also
curbs cross talk and offers good
speed. CAT6 CAT 6 cables are backward
compatible with the previous version of CAT
cables, can be run in long lengths, have bigger
gauge wires and support up to 10 Gb/s at
250 MHz bandwidth. CAT6 cables are also
longer lasting. CAT 6A cables on the other
hand enhances the capacity of CAT6 as it can
perform up to 500Mhz and can cover distances up
to 100 meters.

• CAT 7A This type of Ethernet Cable is a
  good alternative to fiber optic cabling. It
  supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and frequencies of
  up to 1000Mhz.
• Things To Keep in Mind
• While you are installing Ethernet Cables, Keep
  the following things in mind
• Cross Power the Cable at 90 degrees In case you
  have to cross the data network cabling, keep
  it at a 90º degrees and you can avoid
  interference.
• Dont pack them together If the cables
  are kinked, they can affect the network and
  compromise with the quality of cables. So try not
  to create a snake pit out of it.
• Go for different colours Choose different
  colours for different cables so that there is no
  confusions and your data lines can remain
  organized.
• Keep the cables away from risky places In
  case if you are running the cable through
  ceiling or wall, ensure that it doesnt
  come in contact with the ceiling tiles. Also,
  dont run it over water pipes and electrical
  conduit as it is dangerous and might cause
  accidents.

5. Make use of an efficient wire
management system It is important to
organize patch cabling between the racks. To
organize efficiently, you can use wire bundling
device or cable ties or Velcro. Keep the above
mentioned points in mind and start installing
your Ethernet cables at the earliest.
