ITT Communications provides, consultancy, supply, installation, testing, maintenance, and support services related for UTP Category 5E and Category 6 Structured Network Cabling Systems, Telephone Cabling, Fibre Optic Cabling Systems, and Building Backbone Cabling.

A structured cabling system is able to provide a fully integrated solution to an end users voice and data cabling requirement. In addition, an appropriately designed system can provide flexibility to accommodate expansion within voice and data requirements and moves and changes without the need for the end user to incur the cost or inconvenience of re-involving the system installer when such developments occur.

Why use ITT as your Cablers?

ITT have the experience, skills and expertise to ensure your company implements a network infrastructure to meet the growing needs of today, and the software challenges of the future. Our aim is to supply the best and most cost effective solution with the least disruption to you or your working environment.

ITT Technicians have many years experience in installing network cabling and fibre optic cabling. We pride ourselves on providing quality and professional attitudes when working with clients.

Implementing a fully functional structured cabling solution is a complex undertaking, requiring correct planning and project management. We work alongside our clients supplying expertise on both technical and aesthetic levels combined with a professional service to ensure successful completion.

Cabling industry components are not all produced to an equally high standard. This is why we install the best quality structured cabling components from Krone/ADC. We will never compromise quality for price.

In most cases we are looking after your Business Telephone System and/or Network. We don't want to see a sub-standard cabling job that we also have to live with for the next 5 to 10 years.

All installations are to Australian and International standards, all cabling is tested at the completion of installation with a Certified Network Cable Testers to ensure the cabling meets these standards. By certifying the cable, you are assured that the network- wiring is installed to specification, and is ready to support any network capable devices attached to the network. Certifying the cable provides a benchmark for any future network or cable problems. Manufacturer warranties are also available on certified installations.

FAQ Category 5e or Category 6 ?

What is the general difference between category 5e and category 6?

The general difference between category 5e and category 6 is in the transmission performance, and extension of the available bandwidth from 100 MHz for category 5e to 200 MHz for category 6. This includes better insertion loss, near end crosstalk (NEXT), return loss, and equal level far end crosstalk (ELFEXT). These improvements provide a higher signal-to-noise ratio, allowing higher reliability for current applications and higher data rates for future applications.

Will category 6 supersede category 5e?

Yes, analyst predictions and independent polls indicate that 80 to 90 percent of all new installations will be cabled with category 6. The fact that category 6 link and channel requirements are backward compatible to category 5e makes it very easy for customers to choose category 6 and supersede category 5e in their networks. Applications that worked over category 5e will work over category 6.

What does category 6 do for my current network vs. category 5e?

Because of its improved transmission performance and superior immunity from external noise, systems operating over category 6 cabling will have fewer errors vs. category 5e for current applications. This means fewer re-transmissions of lost or corrupted data packets under certain conditions, which translates into higher reliability for category 6 networks compared to category 5e networks.

When should I install category 6 vs. category 5e?

From a future proofing perspective, it is always better to install the best cabling available. This is because it is so difficult to replace cabling inside walls, in ducts under floors and other difficult places to access. The rationale is that cabling will last at least 10 years and will support at least four to five generations of equipment during that time. If future equipment running at much higher data rates requires better cabling, it will be very expensive to pull out category 5e cabling at a later time to install category 6 cabling. So why not do it for a premium of about 20 percent over category 5e on an installed basis?
