For anyone of a certain age, the sound of a dial-up modem and the long waits as your favourite website loaded are the stuff of nostalgia. Poorly encoded Times New Roman homepages are the digital equivalent of sepia photographs or Super8 film. Time and the Internet, however, have moved on. What many people don't know is that there is a range of network, structured and data cabling that can improve our technology, allowing users to get the best out of it at all times.

Always having those annoying technological problems with your phone system or internet? The majority of people experience problems with technology on a day to day basis. However, what most people don't know about is the data cabling equipment and services available to help solve these problems, allowing the use of technology to be a far more enjoyable experience.
As the years have passed since the birth of the Internet, more and more of us are relying on its large array of uses and also expecting high quality speeds in order to not disrupt our busy schedules. They used to call the Internet the "Information Superhighway" back in the day; when really it was more of a slow lane clogged with message boards and Star Trek fans. As broadband has become increasingly prevelant, however, the speed has begun to pick up. Fibre optic cabling is taking the place of the old copper wires. With its faster connection speeds and greater carrying capacity, it is the fast lane. The fibre optic data cabling is a particular technology that uses glass threads to submit data. The cable allows high speeds and reduced data loss over greater distances, therefore improving your network cabling system. Fibre optic cables come in two different types to suit your internet needs, single mode and multi mode. A multi mode cable can transmit data up to lengths of 300m at 1000 mega bites per second and single mode cables can be used when even larger distances are needed!
If you don't buy the right network cabling when setting up Internet access then your connectoin will inevitably suffer. It can, however, be difficult to know which is the right one, as the range of Ethernet cables continues to increase. Most of us don't need a cable longer than 350m, so can make do with either a CAT5 or CAT5e. If you're going to need something above that, then you'd be better advised to invest in a CAT6 (up to 550m) or CAT7 (up to 1000m).
Most of us aren't technical experts and we'll just sign up with BT and get back to unpacking the boxes. However, did you know there are dozens of service providers all with offers, such as free installation, free call outs and often even cheaper rates? The types of phone systems businesses can choose from include the simple analogue/PSTN, a simple phone or fax line designed for receiving just one call at a time, ISDN2 - similar to the basic analogue line, only this can receive two calls as opposed to one. Alternatively there is the option of the ISDN30; often used for slightly larger businesses this system has a minimum of 8 channels and a maximum of 30. And there are just as many handsets out there to choose from. For instance, the new Toshiba Strata CIX40 is perfect for smaller or start up companies, featuring a state of the art voice mail system, with 360 mailboxes and 40 hours worth of storage, allowing businesses to present a highly professional image towards their clients, no matter what their size.
