The Backbone Beneath Everything

Every other low-current system rides on the network. NLC delivers the structured cabling, racks, and active equipment that keep BAS, security, AV, and IT traffic flowing, designed for the building's lifetime, not just its commissioning day.

Passive infrastructure is engineered to TIA/EIA and ISO/IEC standards; active equipment is sized for current load with headroom for the next refresh cycle. Both are documented, labelled, and tested before handover.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What networking infrastructure does NLC's SID provide?

NLC delivers structured cabling, racks, and active equipment that underpin BAS, security, AV, and IT traffic, split into a passive layer and an active layer designed and delivered together.

Which cabling standards does NLC's passive infrastructure follow?

Passive infrastructure is engineered to TIA-568/569, ISO/IEC 11801, and BICSI standards, and is documented, labelled, and fully tested before handover.

What cabling types does NLC use?

NLC uses Cat 6/6A copper, OM4/OS2 fibre, and pre-terminated cabling, along with patch panels, racks, cable trays, and faceplates.

What active networking equipment does NLC supply?

Active equipment includes Layer 2/3 switches, wireless access points, controllers, and edge gateways, sized for the current load with headroom for the next refresh, with PoE+/PoE++ where the application requires it.

What facility types does NLC's networking serve?

NLC's networking infrastructure serves data centres, campuses, hospitals, hotels, and industrial plants.

Does NLC's active equipment support PoE for connected devices?

Yes. Our active layer includes Layer 2/3 switches, wireless access points, controllers, and edge gateways, with PoE+/PoE++ provided where the application calls for it.

Is the network documented and tested before handover?

Yes. Both passive and active infrastructure are documented, labelled, and fully tested before handover, so the system is verified and ready on day one.

How does NLC design networks for future growth?

Active equipment is sized for the current load with headroom for the next refresh cycle, and passive infrastructure is engineered for the building's lifetime, not just its commissioning day.
