Latest pictures of the competitions work around Calgary! I am not sure what they charge per hour or per drop? Apparently too much!

Using staples for cat5e cabling always ends up with damaged cable and crappy reception...

            This was a 20 foot patch cord it had about a 1/2 dozen staples out of 25, piercing the cat5 cable. The customers Internet was slow. Imagine what the cabling inside your walls looks like ?

Most and if not all the other cabling contractors test and certify for a link configuration and not a channel. The contractors link measurements are done with special equipment and patch cords that come with the tester. The network is usually installed weeks before the computers.

 As a result patch cords are often purchased at the cheapest possible price with no consideration for performance. Don't let cheap patch cords be the weak link, in your IT structured cabling system, whether that system is copper or fibre-based. Cheap patch cords will cause impedance mismatch between components and will result in signal reflections at low frequencies. Lots of the other Calgary cabling contractors will install the cheapest & crappiest wire and jacks they can find with no consideration for performance cutting install costs for higher profits by using cheap products...
