Structured Cabling

 |
|
At Marco, we specialize in connecting fully integrated infrastructure solutions to maximize your investment and support your business vision. From cabling system design and configuration, video cabling, fiber optics, and rack/data cabinet cleanup to converged networking, server room solutions, and voice communications, Marco’s Structured Cabling Team provides fully comprehensive cabling solutions.
When making a cabling decision, it’s important to choose well. No other component in your network has a longer life cycle than your structured cabling system. Though it typically accounts for only 2% of your network investment, improperly designed or installed cabling can account for 80% of network problems - and downtime costs can soar. Marco can help you create a plan and system that reduces the need for moves, additions, changes, and upgrades. So in addition to minimizing workflow disruptions to keep your people productive, you’ll also save on reconfiguration and installation costs.
Marco’s structured cabling services are tested and/or certified to be functional to the highest level of performance and pass city and state codes. Connect with Marco and maximize your infrastructure investment!

| System Design and Installation |
 |
| Maximize capabilities and allow for growth — that’s our goal in designing your cabling system, and we’ve got the process to ensure success in meeting that goal. Together, we’ll review your network — how it handles information, its performance and bandwidth requirements, life cycle cost, product features, and support and service requirements. Then we’ll discuss your future voice, video, and data networking needs. Based on our discoveries, we’ll design and configure a structured cabling system that meets your specific needs and optimizes network performance. |

| System Documentation Schematics |
|
| Using a CAD software application, we’ll create a schematic, or “road map”, of your structured cabling system, designed to your exact specifications. Besides providing a helpful, easy-to-understand visual, the CAD program allows us to incorporate user-friendly features to organize workplace moves, additions, and changes for optimum network capacity. Schematics are digitally stored for future reference and updates. |

| Cable Installation and Termination |
|
| Marco can provide you with installation, termination, and certification of category 5E utp, category 6 utp, category 6+utp, coax, and fiber optic cable, including but not limited to single mode and multimode fiber.
All cable, jacks, patch panels, and horizontal runs are installed and terminated according to EIA/TIA standards. Proper support, cable management, and termination are absolutely essential when installing high speed systems. Many people think that a cable is a cable. This could not be further from the truth. In today’s high speed systems, we demand more and more from our infrastructure. Poor termination and high tension pulling on wire will degrade the quality of your connection. You wouldn’t trust just anyone to support your network. The same holds true for your infrastructure wiring. If installed improperly, it may cause many more problems than you started with. Ask Marco’s cabling experts why a quality cabling system makes a difference.

| Cable Testing, Labeling, and Certification |
|
You can’t see the performance of your cabling system with the naked eye, but Marco offers the expertise, tools, and performance testing and certification to assure you’re getting optimal system performance and value. It begins with our cable installers, who are certified for proven cabling expertise. Upon installation completion, we test and/or certify your cabling is installed and terminated to provide the proper level of performance. To optimize your network and accommodate for frequent moves, additions, and changes, all wires, cables, terminals, and other components are routed through a central storage device. We can test remotely from our facility to determine the speed capability of your cabling system. We can also certify or re-certify your existing cabling system.

| Rack and Data Cabinet Cleanup |
|
Do your racks, cables, and data cabinets look more like a scene from a horror movie than an organized cabling system? Don’t know where to start to put all the pieces together again? Let Marco help you turn it all into an organized, manageable cabling system. Rack and cabinet cleanup will increase your network administrator’s productivity by decreasing their time spent identifying wires and troubleshooting.

| Sound Masking Systems |
|
With the advent of the open plan office concept, the importance of acoustics to the office environment has become a major consideration for architects, designers, and those who occupy office space. Improved concentration, privacy, and comfort are among the benefits a sound masking system adds to any work environment, from open office plans to private offices. A sound masking system infuses ambient background sound into your workspace, dramatically reducing the intrusion of noises from surrounding meetings, conversations, telephone calls, and office equipment. Ask for a free sound masking demonstration, and hear the difference it can make in creating a more harmonious working environment.
