FAQ

No, faceplates are classed as furniture it does not affect performance of a link, so provided the module/jack is compatible with the selected faceplate there is no impact on the Excel 25 year warranty.

Yes, provided the RJ45 plug is Excel and tested as a Modified permanent link.

The Excel structured cabling system is one of the largest cabling brands within the UK and is growing internationally at a phenomenal rate. We are looking to work with installation companies that are proactive and are keen to work with us to promote, sell and install the Excel product portfolio. Being an authorised Excel Partner gives you the ability to offer the comprehensive 25 year warranty along with many other benefits

We offer a 25 year product and application warranty as standard on all installations completed by an accredited Excel Partner.

The main differences between OM1 and OM2 multimode fibers lie in their core size (62.5/50Ա), bandwidth (200/500Mhz, and typical applications such as low speed networks and Gigabit Ethernet.

Testing a Modular Plug Terminated Link (MPTL) involves a few specific steps to ensure accuracy and compliance with standards. The test model will require the test equipment to be set up with Permanent Link Adapter for panel end and Patch Cord Adapter for the RJ45 plug end. (Channel adaptors are not able to test as MPTL).

The maximum length of a channel link, which includes the permanent link plus any patch cords or equipment cords, is 100 meters (approximately 328 feet) according to industry standards. This total length ensures reliable data transmission across the network.

The maximum length of a Modified Plug Terminated Link (MPTL) is 90 meters (approximately 295 feet). This length includes the horizontal cabling from the patch panel to the device, with one end terminated with a modular plug that connects directly to the device, such as a security camera or access point.

The maximum length of a permanent link, which is the fixed portion of a network cabling system, is 90 meters (approximately 295 feet) according to industry standards. This length includes the cabling from a patch panel in a telecommunications room to a work area outlet or consolidation point, but it does not include patch cords or equipment cords at either end.

Standards such as ISO 11801 and BS EN 50173 are widely recognized as best practices for the installation and presentation of information technology cabling (ICT). While these standards are voluntary when considered in isolation, they serve as recommendations to ensure high-quality and reliable cabling systems.
However, once these standards are specified in the project documentation and the tender responses are accepted, they become contractually binding. This means that the agreed-upon standards must be adhered to by all parties involved in the project. Under UK law, the acceptance of these specifications in the tender process creates a contractual obligation for the installers to follow the specified standards and best practices. Failure to comply with these standards can result in legal consequences and potential breaches of contract.

It is the responsibility of the client/end user, or their representative (typically a consultant), to clearly identify and specify the standards required for the installation of information technology cabling (ICT) within the specification documentation. This ensures that all project requirements and expectations are communicated effectively. Conversely, it is the responsibility of the installers to review these specifications and confirm, within their tender response, that they can meet the specified standards and deliver the project as required. This confirmation should include a detailed plan demonstrating their capability to adhere to the outlined standards and any relevant industry regulations.

Fire stop products are designed to prevent the spread of fire, but they must also be compatible with the materials they come into contact with. LSZH cables are specifically engineered to emit minimal smoke and no halogen when exposed to fire, making them a safer choice in many environments. However, if a fire stop product reacts negatively with the co-polymer compounds in these cables, it could compromise both the fire stop's effectiveness and the cable's safety features. Therefore, it's essential for fire stop manufacturers to conduct comprehensive testing and provide clear documentation confirming that their products are safe to use with LSZH cables. This ensures that all components work together harmoniously to maintain the highest safety standards.
