As a complete solutions company we like to take away the worry from our clients. Every aspect of the project will be controlled by us and not a third party company. We have a strong team of six specialists of various skills and abilities to cater for your cabling needs.
Communication is the key to any successful project. This is why at HIGS Solutions each project is assigned a cabling co-ordinator. The co-ordinator will report to you with updates of the project and assist you at site meetings.
Structured cabling solutions are defined by "category". The category of any cabling solution will determine the rate at which data can be transferred across it. HIGS Solutions will ensure that the most appropriate cabling category for you will be used.

CAT 5e
Category 5 cables, commonly known as Cat 5, are an unshielded twisted pair cable type designed for high signal integrity. Category 5 has been superseded by the Category 5e specification. This type of cable is often used in structured cabling for computer networks such as Gigabit Ethernet, although they are also used to carry many other signals such as basic voice services, token ring, and ATM (at up to 155 Mbit/s, over short distances).
This type of copper cable is the more commonly used in the majority of business and is also the most cost effective.
CAT 6
Category 6 otherwise known as CAT6, is a cable standard for Gigabit Ethernet and other network protocols that is backward compatible with the Category 5/5e and Category 3 cable standards. Cat-6 features more stringent specifications for crosstalk and system noise. The cable standard is suitable for 10BASE-T / 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) connections. It provides performance of up to 250 MHz.
This more advanced type of copper cable provides a much larger bandwidth almost double compared to the CAT5e cables. In cases where the demand for large pieces of data to be transferred is rather high, CAT6 is the more appropriate choice.
CAT 7
CAT 7 cabling is specified to 600MHz. It is a 'fully shielded' cabling system which offers more than twice the bandwidth of CAT 6 but is also both bulkier and more expensive than CAT 5/6 cabling systems.
Fibre Optic
Medium for the transmission of information in the form of light pulses along a glass wire, plastic wire or fibre. It has advantages over traditional copper wire, in that it carries more information, and is not affected by electromagnetic interference.
Fibre Optic applications are more for extremely high bandwidth networks
Voice
A multi-conductor cable normally made up of twisted pairs for telephone (audio use) usually has several electrical requirements.
Testing
To guarantee customer satisfaction we at HIGS Solutions will always test any work carried out on site as well as report back to the appropriate client. Only when the client is completely satisfied will we consider the job finished.
At HIGS Solutions we do everything by the book, this means for all our testing we use UK standard testing instruments. These instruments include two of the main brands Fluke and Wavetech.
