Factors to Look For in a Network Cabling Service

Posted by Jason Horst on September 14th, 2015

Network cabling needs arise whenever businesses are making a move to a new location or desire an updated network to ensure the efficiency of existing systems, in anticipation of future changes. Working with the structured network cabling contractor is paramount if you want the best interest of your company to be prioritized. Here are some things you should look for in a reliable cabling service:

• When evaluating different structured cabling contractors in your local area, take your time looking into their backgrounds and track records so you can have a glimpse of the kind of service each one can provide. Find out how long your prospect companies have been in business and choose one with a solid history with their previous clients. Experience is one of the main things to look for in a cabling contractor. Companies that have been serving the business long enough is obviously doing something right to stay strong in their niche. These are companies that are worth looking more closely into.

 • Years of service are good indicators of work quality, but look further than their experience to ensure good service. The best contractors don’t rest in their past successes. Instead, they look for new and better ways to serve their clients by constantly improving their offerings. They pay attention to the changes in the industry and are up-to-date with trends that last, providing the best value for clients who want to future-proof their system. A company that can bring something new to the table is far more valuable, especially with the fast changing nature of today’s technology.

 • Take a look at how they do things. During your initial interview, ask about the kind of preliminary assessment they conduct before the actual installation. It is important that your cabling company understand your communication needs. If preliminary testing isn’t in their books, it is probably best to move on with a contractor that goes the whole nine yards. Facility assessment or pre-fielding is an essential step in developing an efficient cabling design and a plan of action that will get your network up and running within a short period of time and with minimum interruption in your business operation. Preliminary assessments are also perfect avenues to gauge the kind of service and expertise the company can bring to the table. You don’t need someone who will merely look around, nod their heads, and tell you they will be in touch. What you want is a contractor who asks questions about your communication needs and walks you through the physical aspects of your facility that work or may pose a challenge in the design/installation of the system. To ensure the quality, durability, and longevity of your cabling system always choose a certified and reliable network cabling service provider.
