The new Premier League is beginning to take shape and the best teams across the country are already becoming well accustomed with the stresses and strains ahead.
A football team needs all of the right ingredients to be successful, including leadership, talent, facilities and of course, the right acquisitions.
Cabling projects often carry similar demands, with preparation a key component to a successful system.
Getting hold of the hardware needed to install the right structured cabling infrastructure may seem an easy task, but without the right tools at hand it can be almost impossible to pull off. It would be like John Terry turning up to the big game without his boots.
Preparation is especially important when embarking on a project outdoors as there are many more variables that could potentially make it more difficult to achieve success.
Having the right tools in your arsenal (that's not a pun) is therefore essential, and luckily Comtec has you covered with a great range of products at competitive prices that will allow you to challenge for honours without breaking the transfer record!
Keep the marking tight
When you're working outside, it's no use taking a pencil and pen with you for making markings and expecting everything to run smoothly.
Working outside often means working with a whole host of materials, including asphalt, concrete, grass, gravel and wood. It means you will need something a little more 'heavy duty' for making your markings bolder and easy to read. Temporary marker paints are suitable for a great number of outdoor applications in areas such as car parks, sports areas, industrial estates, construction sites and golf courses.
The paint is also guaranteed not to clog and is free of both lead and zylene, as well as harmful CFC's allowing it produce a faster drying line.
The fact it is only temporary also makes it ideal for any outdoor project as it won't leave unsightly marks once work is completed.
Use your head
There are some projects where working at night is the only option for installing or updating your site's network cabling infrastructure, yet working in the dark is never an easy task even for the most experienced worker.
But with the Nightsearcher HP910X LED non-rechargeable head torch you can 'turn on the floodlights', with a proximity and wide beam pattern enough to illuminate even the darkest workspace, while a flexible elasticated head strap means you keep your hands free.
Better still, it can easily clip on to the Camp Silver Star Work Helmet, giving you extra protection from any nasty knocks.
Battery power lasts for ten hours, allowing you to work through the night. Worrying about whether you can do it on a rainy evening in Stoke? With this setup you can.
Plug up the gaps
If a team's defence has holes in it, it will be spending most of its time picking the ball out of the net. Likewise if there are any gaps left after installing outdoor cabling, it will leave your infrastructure exposed to the elements, with potentially devastating consequences.
One solution is the EvoStick all-purpose sealant, which contains mould inhibiting fungicide and high-movement accommodation, making it a breeze to apply.
Another option is the Ultima Expanding Foam Sealant - a high expansion yield, polyurethane filling and insulation foam capable of shoring up any leaky setup, giving you a defence more impenetrable than a late 90s Arsenal back four.
