Whether you need a fully designed cabling system or targeted repairs, Recore is your one-call communications provider.

This article explores the importance of data cabling installation and configuration, detailing the components, standards, and benefits of structured wiring systems in modern facilities.

Why Structured Cabling Matters

Structured cabling refers to a standardized approach to designing and installing a cabling system that can support multiple hardware uses and be suitable for today’s and tomorrow’s needs. It simplifies the cabling infrastructure by organizing it into manageable subsystems. These include horizontal cabling, backbone cabling, work area components, telecommunications rooms, and more.

According to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), structured cabling not only improves system reliability but also supports regulatory compliance and public safety communications when installed correctly.

Components of a Structured Cabling System

Recore provides end-to-end cabling services that address every major category of structured wiring. Below are the essential components we design and configure:

1. Ethernet Cabling

Ethernet is the foundation for most local area networks (LANs). Ethernet provides high-speed data transfer and is essential for reliable computer networking, VoIP communication, and access control systems. Recore installs and tests Ethernet cabling to meet IEEE standards and customer performance requirements.

2. Data-Highway Cabling

For industrial and automation settings, Data-Highway cabling connects programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and other critical systems. Recore installs these connections with precision to maintain real-time data exchange and uninterrupted control across factory floors or industrial environments.

3. TI-Way and ControlNet

TI-Way is a specialized communication protocol used primarily for Texas Instruments devices. Similarly, ControlNet is a real-time, high-speed control network that connects industrial automation equipment. Recore is equipped to install and configure both, ensuring compatibility and smooth operation for complex industrial systems.

4. Structured Wiring

Structured wiring includes the comprehensive layout of all data, voice, and video cabling within a facility. A well-structured wiring plan accommodates both current and future needs, minimizes network interruptions, and reduces installation costs over time. Recore designs custom structured wiring plans tailored to the unique requirements of each facility.

5. Fully Designed Cabling Systems

Recore’s design process begins with a detailed assessment of a facility’s needs and goals. We provide fully engineered cabling solutions, including riser and backbone layouts, cable routing diagrams, labeling systems, and compliance documentation. Every design is crafted to provide long-term value.

Data Cabling Configuration Best Practices

Installing data cabling is only part of the equation. Configuring the system correctly is vital for performance, troubleshooting, and scalability. Recore follows industry best practices that align with guidance from organizations such as BICSI (Building Industry Consulting Service International) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

Cable Routing and Management

Routing should be clean and logical, minimizing interference and signal loss. Recore uses cable trays, raceways, and labeling systems to maintain clarity and simplify future expansions or repairs.

Testing and Certification

After installation, all cables are tested for continuity, performance, and compliance with TIA/EIA standards. We use certified testers to document attenuation, crosstalk, and bandwidth capabilities, helping to catch issues before they impact performance.

Compatibility with Network Hardware

Cabling must be compatible with switches, routers, patch panels, and endpoint devices. Recore works closely with equipment manufacturers like Siemens and Leviton to match cabling specifications with supported infrastructure.

Choosing High-Quality Cabling Products

The quality of the cable and connectors used can significantly affect network reliability and longevity. At Recore, we partner with trusted manufacturers like:

Panduit – Known for high-performance copper and fiber cabling systems
Leviton – Offers robust, standards-compliant components for enterprise networks
Siemens – Industry leader in smart building and industrial communication systems

These partnerships allow Recore to offer turnkey solutions with dependable, high-performance components.

Access Control Systems: Securing Facilities with Smarter Technology

July 3, 2025

Access Control Systems are no longer optional; they are essential for modern facility security. Whether you're safeguarding an industrial site, commercial building, or high-traffic campus, access control systems help protect personnel, property, and sensitive data. These systems provide seamless entry for authorized users while keeping out potential threats, improving both security and operational efficiency. In this blog, we’ll explore how access control systems work, their components, the benefits of integrating them into your facility, and how Recore’s tailored approach sets the standard for physical security. What Is an Access Control System? An access control system is a digital security solution that regulates who can enter or exit specific areas within a facility. Unlike basic door locks, access control systems use electronic methods, such as key fobs, PINs, or biometric data, to authenticate users and grant or deny access. According to the U.S. General Services Administration, physical access control systems (PACS) are vital to controlling entry into secure areas using electronic identification . Why Your Facility Needs Access Control Systems 1. Stronger Physical Security Standard keys can be lost, stolen, or duplicated. Access control systems eliminate these risks by using unique digital credentials. Each access event is logged, providing a detailed audit trail. 2. Real-Time Access Management Access permissions can be updated instantly. If an employee leaves the company or changes roles, you can immediately revoke or reassign their credentials. 3. Enhanced Visibility and Accountability Every access attempt, successful or failed, is recorded. In the event of an incident, these logs provide valuable insights for investigation or compliance audits. 4. Scalability Across Multiple Locations From standalone door readers to enterprise-level networks, access control systems grow with your business. Networkable systems can control hundreds of entry points across facilities, all from a centralized platform. Core Components of Access Control Systems A well-designed access control system typically includes: Credential Readers: Devices that scan badges, key cards, biometrics, or mobile credentials. Control Panels: Hardware that processes reader data and decides whether to unlock a door. Electronic Locks: Magnetic or electric strike locks that are controlled remotely. Management Software: Software interface where administrators assign permissions, monitor activity, and generate reports. User Credentials: Key fobs, smart cards, PIN codes, mobile apps, or biometric inputs. Access Control System Types Standalone Access Control Systems Ideal for smaller facilities, standalone systems control individual doors without connecting to a centralized network. These are cost-effective and simple to install, making them a smart choice for single-building operations. Networked Access Control Systems Best suited for multi-site or enterprise-level applications, networked systems connect all access points through centralized management software. These systems offer remote access control, real-time updates, and advanced reporting. Integration Capabilities One of the most valuable features of access control systems is their ability to integrate with other building technologies, including: Video Surveillance Systems: Automatically record footage of access events. Alarm Systems: Trigger alerts for unauthorized access attempts. Building Automation: Control lighting, HVAC, and elevator access based on occupancy. Visitor Management Software: Issue temporary access credentials to guests. Key Benefits of Access Control Systems
