What is a Structured Cabling System?
A structured cabling system is a complete system of cabling and associated hardware, which provides a comprehensive telecommunications infrastructure. This infrastructure serves a wide range of uses, such as to provide telephone service or transmit data through a computer network. It should not be device dependent.
The layout of a business’ structured cabling system will vary based on:
🟦 The architectural structure of the building, which houses the cabling installation
🟦 The cable and connection products
🟦 The function of the cabling installation
🟦 The types of equipment the cabling installation will support – present and future
🟦 The configuration of an already installed system (upgrades and retrofits)
🟦 Customer requirements
Why is a Structured Cabling System important?
Structured cabling greatly simplifies the installation of a cable infrastructure that supports a wide variety of voice and data communications equipment. Whether installing a coaxial outlet in a home or wiring a skyscraper, the components are all made to specific standards for electrical transmission, resistance, cable lengths, connectors and cable fabrication.
Structured cabling also enhances troubleshooting of wiring problems when using the proper diagnostic equipment, which is designed to be compatible with the ANSI/TIA-568.0/1 standards. Installation is also easier with structured cabling because the interfaces are standardized, typically using snap-in connectors.
