7 things you must know about cabling

Handy home cabling tips for all the techies out there. Top7 cable facts you might find interesting or maybe even helpful, enjoy!

1) Ensure your cable installer holds the current industry and government licenses, qualifications and training. To guarantee maximum optimization it is essential the cables being installed meet the current Australian standards, specifications and regulations.
2) Top quality RG6 coaxial must be used for all TV cabling requirements. Successful installation is dependent on the right cable being used. Installing inferior cable will lead to regular issues and interference with the TV reception. 

3) There is an exciting new cable called  Cat6 allowing speed, flexibility and opportunities like never before. “Cat” short for Category otherwise known as data cable consists of four twisted pairs of wires. The more twists the faster data can be transferred down a cable allowing unique features like network sharing and net access to electrical appliances at home.  

4) Full house cabling will soon become the standard in new homes. Installing cabling during the pre construction stage is highly economical increasing the value of your asset even before anyone moves in to the home.  

5) Correct installation methods are extremely important when running data cabling. If terminations are carried out incorrectly or Cat 6 rated materials are not used in conjunction with Cat 6 wiring, the overall performance is degraded to that of the cable or connector. Reduced data speeds and audio/picture interference are just two examples of problems that would occur. 
 
 6) T  is now being carried out in Australia. The speed enhanced download rates are staggering. The Time to download an average compressed movie (1 GB of data) with copper wire currently takes 1day and 16 hours.  With Cat6 and the NBN it will only take 1minute and 20seconds.         

7) Although not recommended people can currently have older cabling throughout their home. After the NBN is connected, however, any home that is not wired with Cat 5 coaxial the cable will need re-running.
