Your path to a faster, clutter-free network starts here

Technology is the foundation of modern businesses. With remote work and cloud platforms gaining popularity, technological solutions are necessary for modern workplaces to communicate, collaborate and share information instantly.

Structured cabling has rapidly emerged as a reliable solution to support this IT infrastructure. It acts as a backbone that supports seamless operation and management by providing standardised cables, hardware, and connectors across the length and breadth of the organisation.

It standardises the organisation’s IT infrastructure, backing a spectrum of applications like data transmission, voice communication, video conferencing, security, building management systems, and more.

A thoughtfully designed structured cabling

  • Enhances safety and security.
  • Improves performance and availability.
  • Helps optimise costs associated with installation and maintenance.
  • Increases flexibility and scalability.

Key components of Structured Cabling

There are several key elements of structured cabling. These include:

  • Cabling: The physical wires or cables that connect devices. The cables can be of copper (Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, Cat7, Cat8) or they could be fiber optic cables
  • Patch Panels: Patch panels are used to organise and manage connections. Patch panels also connect network devices to structured cabling.
  • Jacks & Connectors: The point where connection to devices is made. It allows devices like computers, phones, etc to plug into the system.
  • Switches: These are the devices that help in managing the traffic between the various devices connected to the cabling system.

Subsystems of Structured Cabling

Structured cabling can be further broken down into six subsystems. These are:

Backbone cabling (vertical cabling)

Backbone cabling connects different floors or buildings within a campus ensuring an easy flow of data across the physical perimeter of the organisation.

Telecommunication rooms (TR)

A TR is a room that houses the equipment necessary to route communication throughout the building. It helps distribute IT services to various end-points from the equipment room.

zachsys

Horizontal cabling

It connects individual devices to the Telecommunications Room. Individual devices include phones, workstations, etc.

zachsys

Entrance facilities

These are the points where the external communications network enters the building and connects to the internal networks.

zachsys

Work area components

These include cables and connections that connect user devices to the network.

Equipment room

This is the focal point where the major networking equipment is located. It offers centralized management of IT resources and acts as a backbone connecting horizontal and vertical cabling.

Use cases of Structured Cabling

Structured cabling can be used in different scenarios. Some of the popular use cases include:

Installation guidelines for Structured Cabling

For a successful installation of structured cabling, proper installation guidelines should be followed to ensure peak performance and reliability.

Some of the best practices that should be followed rigorously include:

Quality

Investing or using high-quality cables and components that meet international standards.

Future-ready

Considering future growth and technological advancement, plan in advance and install sufficient quantities to accommodate future needs.

Documentation

Ensure proper documentation so that troubleshooting becomes easier in the future. Correctly label cable pathways, management panels and layouts for future modifications.

Standardization

Follow industry standards for compatibility and ease of maintenance.
