Latin America. Gutters are an indispensable accessory within homes and offices, since in addition to helping in the organization of wiring, it is a safe tool to prevent risks such as falls and damage to cables, protecting them from the environment and possible electrical damage.
A structured cabling allows to integrate the voice, data, video and energy signals, all with the aim of making it easier to administer the system taking into account important aspects such as: security, flexibility, durability, aesthetics and cost of the system. In this sense, the gutters allow the maximum performance of the infrastructure and help the wiring to comply with the current regulations for its installation.
In figures, it is estimated that 3% of the investment of a LAN network has to do with wiring, if the process is not done in the right way, failures in the system could have an extra cost of about 50% on the total value of the investment. Therefore, it is necessary to be careful when performing electrical installations at home or office.
Therefore, the company Schneider Electric published the points that must be taken into account to correctly install the wiring. Consider the following factors:
• The cables and their components must be installed considering all the aspects mentioned in the current regulations, taking into account the manufacturer's recommendations.
• The wiring must be handled by a recognized manufacturer that is guaranteed for the transmission speed or bandwidth desired in the application.
• Installation must be done by a company certified for that job.
• There must be physical and electrical compatibility of all the elements that make up the system, because there may be different technologies in it.
• Cabling infrastructure must be designed to support applications that require high capacity and high transmission speed.
Among the solutions that Schneider Electric offers is the Dexson line of products, including gutters, which allow to meet the security requirements necessary for wiring in homes and offices.
