Tel-Harmonics in Ottawa Provides Computer Networking and Data Network Communication Cabling for Improved Network Performance in Ethernet and Local Area Network Data Network Systems including end to end Fibre-Optic Networks Solutions.
Tel-Harmonics provides Data Network router, switch, cabling installation and testing for Cat5E, Cat6 and Fibre-Optic Data Networks. Some of the equipment and components we use are:
Cat5E Cable
Cat5E Cable is an enhanced version of Cat5 that adds specifications for Far end crosstalk. Although Gigabit Ethernet was designed for use with Cat5 cable, the tighter specifications associated with Cat5e cable and connectors make it an excellent choice for use with 1000BASE-T, and is also used to carry many other signals such as basic "Telephony" voice services, "IBM token ring" token ring, and ATM (at up to 155 Mbit/s, over short distances).
Cat6 Cable
CAT6 cable contains four pairs of copper wire like the previous generation CAT5. Unlike CAT5, however, CAT6 fully to 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) and supports communications at more than twice the speed of CAT5e, the other popular standard for Gigabit Ethernet cabling. An enhanced version of CAT6 called CAT6a supports up to 10 Gbps speeds.
Network Routers
Network Routers are physical devices that join multiple wired or wireless networks together. Technically, a wired or wireless router is a Layer 3 gateway, meaning that the wired/wireless router connects networks (as gateways do), and that the router operates at the network layer of the OSI model.
Network Switch
A Network Switch is a small hardware device that joins multiple computers together within one local area network(LAN). Technically, network switches operate at layer two (Data Link Layer) of the OSI model. (Open Systems Interconnection?Model)
Network Hubs
A network hub or repeater hub is a device for connecting multiple twisted pair or fiber optic Ethernet devices together and thus making them act as a single network segment. Hubs work at the physical layer (layer 1) of the OSI model.
Network Testing
Whether installing new cable, or troubleshooting existing cable, cable testing plays an important role in the process. Common tests for datacom cabling include length, wiremap, attenuation, NEXT, DC loop resistance, and return loss. Cable testing provides a level of assurance that the installed cabling links provide the desired transmission capability to support the data communication desired by the users.
Network Patch Panel
A Network Patch Panel is a mounted hardware unit containing an assembly of port locations for a network communications system. In a network, a patch panel serves as a sort of static switchboard, using patch cables to interconnect computers within the area of a local area network (LAN) and to the outside for connection to the Internet or other wide area network (WAN).
