One of the most prioritized tasks for you while shifting is installing network cables. Do not you wonder how to install these network cables correctly? Will there be any mistakes while installing? Don’t worry people learn from mistakes but in this case, we’ll try to learn from others’ mistakes. This article will guide you through how to avoid the common mistakes while installing network cable.

1. Separate Cables For Data And Voice

This is the most common mistake while installing network cables if you ask anyone. Earlier people chose different cable for data and voice as it the twisting cabling was quite expensive back then but now this is not much expensive.

2. Parallel Cabling To Electric Cables

If you set your network cables parallel to electric cables, then the magnetic fields of your network cables will be disturbed by electric cables resulting in major disruptions. It will ultimately cause very slow communication speed or lose transmission. So it is very important for you first to decide the path of the cable rather than randomly placing it.

3. Cables Are Not Tested Simultaneously

How will it feel when you have finished installing your network cables, but in the end you realize that some faulty cables do not supply connection properly? Well if you do not want that to happen then better check every single cable simultaneously while installing. It may sound very time to consume to you as you are paying large amount money for labor but, it is better than paying a much more amount of money for establishing a new connection as prevention is better than cure. Plan your connection or organization of cable to save the future payment.

4. Cutting Of Cables

Check properly before you cut your cable so that later you do not find yourself stretching your cables to connectors. So what you have to do is measure the distance to the connector and cut the cable with a few inches more than the measured distance. Even if it is long, it can be cut later, but if it becomes short, you may have to buy a new cable or reposition your router.

So networking cables are as much important as electric wiring, so get good cables do not try to save money, get good labor and equipment so that everything works properly and you do not have scratch your head later.
