    Experience and Training

    Koehler Cabling has over 25 years of experience in expert design assistance, project management, installation and testing. We have a Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD®) on staff to provide design assistance on your most challenging projects. Our technicians have strong communication cabling backgrounds and are factory trained to install numerous communication products.

    They are certified Systimax Category 5E, 6, and fiber optic technicians and have training in high-speed communications networks and PBX equipment. Koehler Cabling has also received certification or factory training from 3M (firestop products), Belden/Krone, Panduit, Berk-Tek, Ortronics and Leviton.

    Koehler Cabling also provides outside plant voice, data and power cabling to various clients. All cable is installed with special attention to EIA/TIA (Electronics Industry Association/Telecommunications Industry Association) installation standards.

    We are constantly looking for methods to keep our technicians up-to-date on the latest technology and installation methods. Several "in-house" seminars have been conducted to train them on Category 5E and 6 installations and terminations, and the proper termination of fiber optic cable.

    In addition, technicians attend Systimax led training classes focused on:
    • Systimax installer certification
    • Category 5E and 6 cable installation
    • Fiber optic termination
    • Instruction on proper operation of all test instruments
    Negligible employee attrition means that employee training and experience provides increasingly better services for our clients.

    Cable Testing and Warranty

    Koehler Cabling technicians use the latest test equipment to ensure proper performance and bandwidth required for today's equipment and future growth. All Category 5E, 6, and fiber optic lines are tested to meet standards certification. Fiber optic lines are also tested for conformity within dB loss tolerance levels. Cable performance is then documented and provided to you for future reference.

    All cable and workmanship is warranted for a minimum of one year after installation. Systimax products are warranted for 20 years. A unique 20 year Extended Product Warranty and Applications Assurance Program is provided for all certified SYSTIMAX projects. The SYSTIMAX SCS Applications Assurance Program covers all applications currently contained in the SYSTIMAX SCS Performance Specifications. In addition the Assurance Program will cover any application introduced in the future by recognized standards or user forums that use TIA/EIA 568-B or ISO/IEC IS 11801 for UTP channel specifications for cabling.
