WKOW Rack Cabling

Broadcast Systems Integrators Organize Newsroom Rack Cabling System

When WKOW, a local news station in Madison, WI, needed to redesign their master control room, they turned to the systems integrators at Heartland Video Systems. Assessing the situation, our engineers were able to design an elegant solution both for the front end control room and the miles of data cables it required.

Data cable pathways need to be carefully pre-planned to avoid messy tangles and damaged wires.

With the huge numbers of wires in any newsroom server and data center, it is important to have an experienced systems integration company design the right cable pathway. The work done at WKOW is a great example of the well-thought-out, organized approach Heartland Video Systems takes to cable management.
