The Critical Cable

Of critical importance to any computer network is the selection and proper installation of its cabling.  EXCELL Computers can help you make the right choice(s) of cabling and perform a proper installation for a trouble-free Network.

What Is Network Cabling?

Cable is a medium through which information can be moved from one network device to another.  There are several types of cable which are commonly used in a Local Area Network (LAN).  In some cases, a network requires only one type of cable.  Other networks may require the use of a variety of cable types.  Among the considerations in choosing the correct cable is your network's topology, protocol, and size.  EXCELL understands what cables are necessary to be used in your network and how to perform a proper installation resulting in a successful network.
