TNS were contacted by a Birmingham based food company to validate a 3rd party audit.

Following this audit numerous issues were found to be the cause of a malfunctioning network.

​

• Data cable tied to incoming 3 phase leads

• Transmission cable in poor health (kinks, split sheaths)

• Internal grade cable running externally across the building roof​

​

After carrying out detailed analysis of all problems faced and the client’s requirements, TNS proposed the installation of a Draka Cat6 solution.

​

This proposition was accepted, allowing TNS engineers to get to work

The task involved:

​

• Installation of a Draka Cat6 solution throughout the main building

• Fitting an external OM3 CST grade fibre from the Comms Room to remote offices

• Installation of 18 data points, connected to Comms Room

• Repositioning of cabinets and servers

• Installation of a further 88 data points

• Installation and fusion splicing of a fibre optic link

• Re-patching the network

• Health checks on all hardware equipment

​

Following this successful CAT6 installation into a Birmingham based food company, TNS showcased their ability to identify existing problems, produce a remedial action plan and carry out all tasks in a professional manner.
