4 Key Factors to Consider for the Right Cabling Systems

Network cables are the lifeline for any office infrastructure. They form the foundation for an uninterrupted and efficient communication and working of the various devices within the company.

Choosing the right kind of cabling is key to a successful operation of a cable system is to select the most suitable cable for the application, make a correct installation, and perform the required maintenance.

Here are four factors to consider for the right cabling:

Cable installation: IT cables are installed outdoors and indoors to connect the various devices within the network. These cables are installed depending upon the distribution system and the load served. Design of conduit systems not only should minimize the number of conduit bends and distances between manholes but also should specify the pulling tensions. The local conditions, installation crews, and maintenance personnel all help in assuring that the selected cable system will operate satisfactorily.

Cable construction: Selection and application of cable involves the type of cable construction needed for a particular installation. Selection and application of cable involves the type of cable construction needed for a particular installation. Cable construction involves conductors, cable arrangement, and installation and finish covering. Cable conductors are selected based upon the class of stranding required for a particular installation.

Cable operation: The insulation of the cable must be able to withstand the voltage stresses experienced during normal and abnormal operating conditions. Therefore, the selection of the cable insulation should be made on the basis of the applicable phase-to-phase voltage and the general system category. The equivalent current carrying capacity should be used for selecting the conductor size for thermal withstand.

Cable size: The size of the cable depends on

– Current carrying capacity

– Voltage regulation

– Short circuit rating

These factors should be evaluated before selecting a cable size. In many instances voltage regulation and short circuit rating factors are overlooked. This might lead to accidents and potential risks. The current carrying capacity of a cable is based upon its thermal heating. A 5% limit of voltage drop is acceptable for electrical power distribution systems. The short circuit withstand capability is measured as the time within which the cable holds on without any thermal damage to it until such time as the fault can be removed by the switching device, such as a circuit breaker or fuse.
