Another hot week at Workman Communications! But that isn’t stopping us!


Starting off our week with a bang! Installing a (40+) CAT6 drops to a new customer of ours by the name of Matheson Trucking. If you didn’t know,  Cat6  is the sixth generation of twisted pair Ethernet cabling that is used in home and business networks.  Cat6  cabling is backward compatible with the  Cat5 and  Cat5e standards that preceded it. ( read more about low voltage cabling by clicking here ) We also completed some cubical routing, Access Point installation, and cabling for Projectors. This project took about 3 days to complete.

Next, we headed to USCB America this week doing some of our famous TV mountings. We installed (3) TVs total! (1) 80″ in the board room,  a 70″ TV in a break room and also a 65″ into a huddle. This customer also wanted (2) sound bars and (2) Apple TV s to be installed and connected to these TVs for meetings, webinars, etc.

Heating and Cooling Supply , located here in Sacramento, contacted us for a few projects. So we scheduled that for this week as well! Our team installed (16) CCTV cables, Speco Cameras, NVR, and also mounted a TV on the wall for viewing of the camera feed. This NVR allows you to stream and record up to 32 video channels of video, with a resolution of up to 8MP! How cool is that?! These Speco cameras include High definition 4MP image sensor that delivers double the detail of 1080p and Color Night Vision that delivers full color nighttime video for improved recognition of objects in low light conditions. We’ll be completing a similar install at their Modesto location in a few weeks!

We love our residential customers just as much as our commercial ones! We especially love our repeat, loyal customers! We received a call that channel 3 was down at a customers home in Davis, and had been down for a while. So Rick and Chris stopped by and realigned her antenna, made sure her connections were good, and also upgraded her firmware on her CD player.

Another amazing, loyal customer of ours, Buffalo Wilds Wings , needed us to install a new projector. We were shipped a new projector from their headquarters, and out to Folsom we went! Our technician, Chris, carefully removed the old, dusty, broken projector and installed this new Panasonic Projector. He hooked it up, tested, and went on his way! (But not before eating a couple wings…)

Imagine a world where your business operations flow seamlessly, information travels at lightning speed, and connectivity is never a concern. This world exists, and it all revolves around one crucial element: data cabling. Data cabling is the unsung hero of modern business infrastructure, quietly supporting your daily activities and ensuring everything runs smoothly. In this blog, we will delve into the intricacies of data cabling and uncover how it can significantly impact your business. Unveiling the Basics of Data Cabling Data cabling, in its simplest form, is the physical infrastructure that allows data to be transmitted from one device to another within a network. Whether it's through copper cables or fiber optics, the goal remains the same: fast, reliable data transmission. Think of data cabling as the roads and highways of your network, ensuring that information reaches its destination swiftly and accurately. When setting up data cabling for your business, several factors come into play, such as the type of cables to use, the layout of your office space, and future scalability. It's essential to design a cabling system that not only meets your current needs but can also adapt to any future expansions or technology upgrades. Moreover, proper installation and maintenance of data cabling are paramount. A well-organized and neatly arranged cabling infrastructure not only improves network performance but also makes troubleshooting and upgrades much more efficient. Investing in the right cabling setup from the start can save you time, money, and headaches down the line. Enhancing Efficiency Through Structured Cabling Systems Structured cabling systems take data cabling to the next level by providing a comprehensive framework that supports various hardware and services. Unlike traditional point-to-point cabling, structured cabling organizes the network into manageable blocks, making it easier to identify and resolve connectivity issues. With structured cabling, businesses can enjoy higher levels of efficiency and reliability. The standardized approach to cabling design means that additions or changes can be made with minimal disruption to existing operations. This scalability is particularly beneficial for businesses looking to grow and adapt to evolving technological demands. Furthermore, structured cabling simplifies network management by reducing the risk of human error and ensuring consistency across the entire infrastructure. By streamlining connectivity and optimizing signal quality, businesses can operate more smoothly and focus on their core activities without being bogged down by IT complexities. As technology continues to advance, the need for flexible and robust cabling systems becomes increasingly evident. Structured cabling lays the foundation for a future-proof network that can accommodate emerging technologies and innovations, giving your business a competitive edge in a fast-paced digital landscape. The Role of Fiber Optic Cables in Modern Infrastructures Fiber optic cables have revolutionized data transmission by utilizing light signals to transfer data at incredibly high speeds. Compared to traditional copper cabling, fiber optics offer greater bandwidth, longer distances, and enhanced security, making them ideal for businesses with demanding networking requirements. The lightweight and durable nature of fiber optic cables makes them less prone to signal interference and physical damage, ensuring consistent performance and reliability. With the increasing demand for real-time data processing and cloud-based services, fiber optics have become the backbone of modern business infrastructures. Moreover, fiber optic cabling is future-proof, capable of supporting the evolving needs of businesses as technology progresses. Whether it's high-definition video streaming, large data transfers, or remote collaboration, fiber optics provide the speed and stability required to keep pace with the digital demands of today and tomorrow. The Crucial Role of Data Cabling As we wrap up our exploration of data cabling, one thing becomes abundantly clear—data cabling is not just a means to connect your devices; it's the backbone of your entire business infrastructure. From boosting efficiency and reliability to paving the way for future technological advancements, the importance of investing in high-quality data cabling cannot be overstated. So, whether you're setting up a new office or upgrading your existing network, remember that strong data cabling is the foundation upon which your business success is built.
