Setting new standards

摘要

» "Cables are one of those so-called minor items that can radically affect the profitability of a job - especially since that cable you installed in the wall during first fix is going to be very hard to replace - and most installers don't test it at this first-fix stage," says Stuart Lockhart, general manager of Vision Audio Visual. "It's a gamble because there is no way of knowing how good a cable is by looking at it. Fancy sheaths can hide conductors that are too thin or poorly wound shields. So brand and reliability are important." Earlier this year Midwich Group set up a cables and connectivity division citing the market moving towards the use of fibre, Cat 6A and USB C solutions, especially for longer distance and new installations.
