Outside Plant Cabling Services

When your business requires reliable and scalable communication infrastructure, Logical Cabling’s Outside Plant Services provide the backbone your operations need. With decades of experience designing and installing outdoor cabling systems, we understand the unique needs of industries with large-scale facilities. Whether it’s industrial, commercial, or governmental, our expertise ensures your network performs at its best.

What Are Outside Plant Services?

An outside plant refers to the physical cabling and supporting infrastructure located outdoors between buildings or data centers. These systems include underground, aerial, and buried cabling that connect your organization’s various locations, ensuring high-speed, stable communication. Outside plants are vital for businesses with distributed facilities, because they provide the reliable link needed for communication, data transfer, and system management.

Design and Installation

At Logical Cabling, our team is led by Registered Communications Distribution Designers® (RCDD) who excel in creating customized, structured cabling solutions. From the initial design through to installation, we ensure that your outside plant infrastructure meets industry standards, with a focus on scalability, efficiency, and reliability. Our solutions are tailored to your facility’s unique needs, allowing seamless integration with existing networks or entirely new builds.

Boring and Burial

For underground cabling, our boring and burial services provide a safe, efficient way to install and protect your cabling. We use advanced boring technology to ensure minimal disruption to the surface while laying a solid infrastructure that is protected from external elements. This method is ideal for campuses, industrial facilities, and large commercial complexes where stable underground connections are required.

Aerial

When underground installation isn’t a good option, we offer aerial cabling solutions. Logical Cabling’s team expertly installs and maintains cabling using aerial routes, ensuring maximum coverage and accessibility while reducing installation time. Aerial cabling is perfect for manufacturing plants, large distribution centers, and transportation hubs that demand a fast and cost-effective installation solution.

Frequently Asked Questions​

What is structured cabling?

Structured cabling is a standardized system used to support voice, data, and video transmission across a facility. It involves a well-organized, labeled system of cables and hardware that ensures high performance, scalability, and ease of management. Structured cabling is designed to meet the bandwidth requirements of the system and is tested to ensure it functions optimally. Although it may take longer to install and has a higher initial cost, it provides lower operational costs and a longer lifespan compared to unstructured systems.

What is the difference between structured and unstructured cabling?
  • Structured Cabling: This system uses predefined standards, organized pathways, and connection points. It is well-organized, properly labeled, and tested to ensure proper performance. Although the installation may be more time-consuming and costly initially, it offers long-term benefits such as lower operational costs, scalability, and easier maintenance.
  • Unstructured Cabling: Also known as point-to-point cabling, this system lacks predefined standards or organized pathways. It can lead to restricted airflow, cooling problems, higher energy costs, and difficulty in making future changes. While cheaper and quicker to install, unstructured cabling has a shorter lifecycle and is prone to extended downtime due to its disorganized nature.
What is data center cabling?

Data center cabling refers to the wiring used within a data center to support data transfer and communication systems. This can be either structured or unstructured. Structured cabling uses predefined standards, allowing for easier management, scalability, and error-free operation. In contrast, unstructured cabling lacks organization and can cause issues such as cooling problems, higher energy costs, and difficult system management.

Why is a structured cabling system better than unstructured cabling?
  • Maximum Uptime: A structured cabling system makes it easier to add new hardware and avoid mistakes like disconnecting the wrong cable during moves, adds, and changes. This organized approach helps minimize downtime.
  • Increased Scalability: Structured systems are modular, allowing for easy expansion as your network grows. New connections can be added with minimal disruption.
  • Lower Operational Costs: The neat organization of structured cabling reduces confusion and the potential for costly mistakes. It is designed to support your network’s growth and hardware needs without additional complexity.
Why is performance important in cabling systems?

Performance is critical because cabling systems can directly impact the efficiency and reliability of your network. Factors like optical power budget, cabling system loss, and channel distance are interrelated. Exceeding optical loss budgets can lead to channel errors and potential downtime. Structured cabling systems designed with high-performance cables help prevent such issues, ensuring error-free operation and longer cable run distances.

Why should I use high-quality cables in my cabling system?

Using high-quality cables ensures that your data center or network functions efficiently both now and in the future. Older fiber cables and lower-grade copper cables may not support modern systems’ requirements, such as reduced bend radius or high-speed data transfer. Using subpar cables might save money upfront, but they can cause significant operational issues and frequent downtime, leading to higher long-term costs. Opting for high-quality copper or fiber cables ensures longer-lasting, error-free performance.
