Network Solution Integration: Universal Cabling Systems, Inc., is a physical layer network integrator. What this means is that we deal with customer requirements at the lower three layers of the International Standards Organization (ISO) model, including:

  • Wireless
  • Ethernet
  • Token Ring
  • Fiber Optics
  • CATV

Quality Control: Pre-installation. Verification. In-process inspection. Cable testing. Final inspection. Certification. These steps are carried out by our own staff of trained and experienced people who guarantee the end user the highest possible quality network, always exceeding the original design specifications. Our Quality Assurance System continually monitors our performance and keeps us on our toes.

Project Management:  Each of our projects has a dedicated foreman who ensures that the process of installing your system is completed on time, without cost overruns. The project foreman coordinates, focuses and orchestrates all resources toward the successful testing of your network. During weekly "focus" meetings, the project foreman will inform you of the project's status. 

Certified Engineers and Technicians: Our design engineers and installation technicians maintain technical skills through our own training seminars. In addition, they achieve industry certification through programs such as BICSI's RCDD, Technician, and Installer programs; vendor structured cabling system certification programs.

Approach to Successful Installations:  We provide a turnkey approach to network installation. From beginning to final test, your system is built in a structured way, developed over hundreds of successful installations. Each step of your project has a distinct set of objectives all designed to meet your specific requirements.

Planning

Our planning process includes: 

  • Determining your organization's objectives and network goals
  • Examining installed applications and systems.
  • Identifying communications requirements (voice, data, video, etc.)
  • Reviewing the physical plant configuration
  • Determining performance, reliability and security requirements
  • Studying network topology 
  • Forecasting future needs.

Design and Layout

After the planning process is complete, the physical layer cable plant is specified and detailed: This includes:

  • Network topologies 
  • Cable routing and lengths 
  • Materials 
  • Test procedures 
  • CAD drawings

Installation

The network is installed to specification by our own trained installers who install the cable plant, complete connections, and integrate active electronics to rigid standards.

Testing and Certification

Our quality assurance technicians use state-of-the-art equipment to certify  your network. Test equipment includes the latest fiber and copper cable  testing.  We conduct every test possible with hard copy results provided to you for your records. We make certain that your network complies with:

  • Design and layout specifications
  • Network installation standards
  • Local, state and federal codes

Upon completion of the certification testing, we issue our guarantee that the network is capable of meeting the design requirements.  Some of the equipment we use includes:

  • Time domain reflectometers
  • Optical time domain reflectometers
  • Optical power and source meters
  • Continuity testers
  • Polarity testers
  • IBM cable plan testers
  • BICC Iso Lan test units (Ethernet stimulation)
  • Ring scanners (token ring stimulation)
  • CAT5E/CAT6/Fiber Optic Fluke Testers
  • NEXT scanners
  • AZURE LAN Pharoh LAN analyzer

 

Warranty and Guarantee

Our warranty and guarantee programs are the final steps to ensure your satisfaction.  We provide the most extensive warranty and guarantee programs in the industry.
