What is structured cabling?
The importance of structured cabling.
A structured cabling system is as important to the success of your organization
as the people are who work in it.
A well-planned structured cabling system facilitates the continuous flow of
information, enables the sharing of resources, promotes smooth operations,
accommodates ever-changing technology, offers plenty of room for growth,
and evolves with your organization. Plus, it will be around far longer than
your current PC, server, and network switches.
In essence, a structured cabling system is the lifeblood
of your organization. If done right, it will serve you well
for years. If not, your organization’s growth and bottom
line can suffer.
The importance of structured cabling has increased
right alongside the growth of LANs, MANs, and WANs.
It started with individuals working on standalone PCs.
It didn’t take long to connect those PCs into workgroups
and then to connect those workgroups to a server.
One server became multiple servers. And the rest is
history. Today’s networks are complex systems running
on technologies that no one could have imagined just
15 years ago.
This guide will provide an overview of the standards
and practices that govern structured cabling systems.

A structured cabling system is the wiring network that carries all your
data, voice, multimedia, security,VoIP, PoE, and even wireless connections
throughout your building or campus. It includes everything from the data
center to the desktop, including cabling, connecting hardware, equipment,
telecommunications rooms, cable pathways, work areas, and even the jacks
on the wallplate in your office.
