Technical Site Survey
The site survey is designed to provide a document listing telecommunications equipment and bandwidth available in the building. The data that is typically collected in the site survey includes all relevant information about the existing telecommunications infrastructure in and on the building. This includes:
-
Current Telecommunications Service providers in the building (copper, cable and fiber)
-
Location in the building of entrance facilities
-
Telecommunications infrastructure capacity in the building (copper, cable and fiber)
-
Equipment in the main telco room (smart jacks, 66 blocks, routers, multiplexers)
-
Status of server room and office access rights
-
Existing satellite and wireless dishes on the rooftop including frequencies and service providers.
-
Location and capacity of telco closets on each floor
-
Existing wiring for LAN/WAN

Installation
Our installation team is trained and certified by our manufacturers and Local Telco to provide the highest quality structured cabling installation. This approach guarantees a worry-free, dependable voice and data cabling solution. NEXTCOM SOLUTIONS technicians are CIBD and NIOSH-certified and maintain a safe work environment.
Documentation
Labeling of faceplates and patch panels is completed using 606-B labeling standard. A drawing which reflects the cable locations and pathway can be created and provided. This allows ease in locating each cable and point of termination.
Cabling
Category 5e:
Commonly referred to as “Cat 5e” is a twisted pair cable type designed for high signal integrity. It is often used in cabling for computer networks and is also used to carry basic voice services.
Category 6:
Commonly referred to as “Cat 6” it is used to carry Ethernet 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet) connections. Cat 6 cable is backed with more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise than earlier cabling standards.
Category 6a:
Commonly referred to as “Cat6a or Cat6 Augmented or 10gig” is the latest standard for enhanced performance standards for twisted pair cable systems. Category 6a is defined at frequencies up to 500 MHz—twice that of Cat 6. Category 6a performs at improved specifications, in particular in the area of alien crosstalk as compared to Cat 6 UTP (unshielded twisted pair), which exhibited high alien noise in high frequencies.
Multi-Mode Fiber:
Best suited for premise applications where links are less than 1000 meters for 100 MB/s or less, 550 meters for data rates of 1 GB/s or less, and 300 meters for data rates of 10GB/s or less. There are two types of multi-mode fiber, 62.5 um and 50 um. Our Taylored team can help determine the right type for you.
Single-Mode Fiber:
Best suited for bandwidth requirements exceeding multi-mode’s capability, distances exceeding multi-mode’s capability and where the application dictates single mode like video.
Cabling Framework
Patch Panels
A panel, typically rack-mounted that houses cable connections. Angled patch panels are available to help conserve space.
Vertical & Horizontal Wire Management:
Providing a neat and clean appearance by managing and hiding cables and patch cords in cabinets and racks.
Above Ceiling Cable Tray System:
Either basket tray or ladder rack styles are available to allow for convenient installation of current and future cabling projects.
Abandoned Cable:
National Electric Code requires the removal of all abandoned cable. The NEXTCOM SOLUTIONS conducts a site survey, and provides documentation and pricing to remove abandoned cable when installing new voice and data cabling.
