Slow Networks might not be the cable

Got good cabling but your network is still slow?

There is a good chance your networking equipment is probably not what it could be. To explain this, lets draw a parallel between your cabling and equipment, and cars and roads.

Roads are your network cabling infrastructure, if the road is old and worn out, or not well made, it does not matter what you try to drive fast on it, you will struggle.

New roads are smooth and designed to get you there quicker, old roads are full of holes, dangerous and not conducive to safe speed.

Cars are like your network equipment, or active equipment. I can guarantee that a base model low cost car will not get to the destination anywhere nearly as quick as a high end more expensive car, no matter how good the road is. Why? It just does not have the power or handling to go fast. This is not the cars fault, it was built to a price and performance specification.

So if you are having issues and it’s not the cabling, chances are you are trying to push either older slower switches or access points, or you probably didn’t get the right specification for what you need.
