Each component is carefully selected and tested against Cameroonian environmental factors and business needs.


4. Structured Cabling Best Practices

Proper cabling design ensures reliability, scalability, and performance:

📏 Planning & Standards

  • BlueTech follows TIA/EIA‑568 and ISO/IEC 11801 standards.

  • Future‑proofing for growing bandwidth, PoE, fiber upgrades.

Cable Type Selection

  • Cat5e: Up to 1 Gbps—economical.

  • Cat6: 10 Gbps up to 55 m—better shielding.

  • ScTP (shielded) or Fiber Optic: Ideal for harsh or high‑EMI environments.

Installation Techniques

  • Maintain proper bend radius and support.

  • Separate power/data cables to avoid interference.

  • Use raised floors, cable trays, labeling.

Testing & Certification

  • Use Fluke testers for insertion loss, NEXT, return loss.

Patch Panels & Cable Racking

  • Indexed labeling, cable managers.

  • Standard rack layout: PDU, network rack, fiber patch, equipment.

Documentation

  • Rack elevations, cable IDs, port assignments—critical for troubleshooting.

Comprehensive security solutions
