Cabling Infrastructures

Since 1980, we have experienced consistent growth because of our expertise in designing and installing cabling infrastructures. In fact, for any company a structured cabling system is the backbone for a multitude of IT services. Therefore, proper design and setup of the cabling infrastructure is crucial for optimum performance today, tomorrow and ten years from now.

We work with the small and mid-size companies who need their computers and other devices – from security cameras and fax machines to telephones and time clocks – that need to be networked for maximum performance.

Our experience shows that do-it-yourself attempts at networking save pennies at the front end while performance suffers over the long term. Without proper design, materials and a competent installation, a network fails to meet specifications, connectivity suffers, and information transfer is slowed, costing time, money and performance.

Today’s Technology
Today’s cutting edge technology can network your communications for faster service, improved accountability and increased performance. We have the experience and the skilled staff to design, install and support any of these technologies:

  • Computer networks, including Cat 5e, 6, 6e and Fiber
  • Telephone, including digital, analog, 25, 50 and 100 multi-par cables
  • Surveillance, both coax and fiber

Computer networks, including Cat 5e, 6, 6e and Fiber
Applications can range from a single-family home to a multi-million dollar corporation. We run the cables, connect the copiers, the phone, and the computers and create an integrated communications environment – and we test each system to ensure that a system is delivering as designed. Cat 5 and Cat 6 cabling, for example, has built-in specifications that must me met for optimum performance and testing will include:

  1. ·4 Specified frequency range
  2. Attenuation
  3. Power-sum NEXT
  4. Access Control Router
  5. Power-sum ACR
  6. ELFEXT
  7. Power-sum ELFEXT
  8. Return loss
  9. Propagation delay
  10. Delay skew
  11. Termination
  12. Continuity

Telephone, including digital, analog, 25, 50 and 100 multi-par cables
A digital is a compressed signal. Everything goes over two wires. Whether a phone system is digital or VoIP, we can integrate any analog devices – such as fax machines, credit card machines, or cordless phones -- into the system. That eliminates the need for a separate lines and provides consistent and uninterrupted communications.

Cabling Infrastructures

Surveillance, both coax and fiber optics
We can wire surveillance systems using existing cabling whether it is coax, fiber optics of Cat 3 or Cat 5 cable. We can use that. Just by using specially equipped converters to enable the media to operate effectively on the existing cabling. This saves people from having to re-wire their home or building. You have an existing structure with wiring, we can design, install and consulting to provide optimum service.


Case Study
Museum Quality
The J. Morrissey Company was moving from Hartford to a new location in Windsor, CT. Alternative Telecommunications was called to evaluate the communication needs of the new facility, which was a three story, former museum they were converting info offices. We wired the building for voice and data and concealed all the cabling so as not to detract from the historical look of the building, even applying maple veneer and staining it to match the original baseboard. The results were one happy and historically correct customer.

Night Work
We were awarded a competitive bid to install cable in the Hartford Jewish Community center and the Federation Building. Alternative Telecommunications was chosen to create two separate wiring closets and connect them with a fiber back bone creating a seamless network. The Federation office had to be done after working hours. We were given a key so we work in the building over the weekend, which we did, and all went as expected. On Monday morning we received a disturbing call from the Federation concerned that we did not show up to do the work. We told them that we had, in fact been there, and that the cabling had been installed and tested. They couldn’t believe the cabling was installed without disturbing their desks or leaving any mess.
