Overview

Cabling Audits are often seen as not needed when so much time can be saved if you have the right information relating to your existing infrastructure, this will allow you and us as a trusted partner to determine areas of weakness, and potential cabling requirements in the future and help with cabling surveys.

Information from each audit can be different dependant on your requirements but can include any of the following;

• A Visio drawing showing the site and cabling routes including cabinet locations
• All Fibre Backbone links will be marked up including fibre, copper and wireless
• Testing of all cabling can be carried out to identify potential bottlenecks
• Cabinet/Rack Layout Drawings can be provided showing space capacity (U Space)
• The number of data outlets per cabinet will be counted and checked to see if there are in use –and the type of cable used
• Heats and Power Outputs can be calculated
• Identify any labelling issues and rectified if required (Patch Panels, Outlets and Cables)
