Excel System Design Course Overview

A 1-day design course which will enable the delegates to correctly design and specify the Excel Structured Cabling Solution.
As many designers have discovered to their cost, the problems generated by less than perfect Cat 6, Cat 6a and bre installations are vastly more prevalent than on previous systems, the problems can start as early as the design stage.
The course covers the necessary standards to ensure that the design, speciation, installation and testing of the Cat 6, Cat 6a and fibre is compliant to ensure a system warranty
