Structured Cabling System   

A structured cable system is a telecommunications cable infrastructure that consists of several smaller elements called subsystems that offer a comprehensive telecommunications infrastructure. This system makes up the LAN (local area network) within a commercial building for transmitting data. There is a set of standards that specify the design and installation of structured cables in data centers, offices, and apartment buildings using different types of cables. These standards define how to install cables in different places according to customer needs. When it comes to cables, the most common categories are Category 5e (Cat 5e), Category 6 (Cat 6) and fiber optic cables. 

Benefits of Structured Cabling System  

Every structured cabling system is unique, because of variations in customer requirements, the architectural structure of the building, what are the required functions and other aspects. To ensure a proper cabling installation, there are a series of standards to design, install and maintain cabling installations. Compliance with these standards origin some benefits of the use of structured cabling system – uniform documentation and consistency of installations.  
The structured cabling system avoids the mess, is cost-effective, reduces the risk of downtime and is time-saving. Also, because of its organization, it’s easy to find, which can help to reduce the risk of downtime. Another advantage of a structured cabling system is its flexibility that can accommodate moves and quick changes.  
From the point of access, it usually starts a structured cabling system, that provides the infrastructure within data centers, offices, and apartment buildings to send data and voice communications. Here you will find Copper Cables, Cabinets & Patch Panels, Connectors & Jacks, Patch Cables. 

FAQs

The structured cabling system is a telecommunication open network structure, which consists of six subsystems: work area, horizontal cabling, backbone cabling, equipment room, telecommunication closet (room) and entrance facilities. All six subsystems are made up of different types of equipment. For example, the work area may include station equipment, patch cables, communication outlets. On the other hand, horizontal cabling may include cable terminations, cross-connections and one transition point.

A copper cable is a group of two or more copper wires bundled together in a single sheath. This type of cable is used in telecommunications, electronics circuitry, power transmission and many other types of electrical equipment. A copper cable transmits data through twisted pairs of copper wires and is used in power generation, power transmission, power distribution, telecommunications, electronics circuitry, and countless types of electrical equipment.

The ethernet cables are organized into different categories. For example, in Cat5 category, Cat means Category and the number indicates the specifications for which the cable was manufactured. Each category has a different max transmission speed and max bandwidth. There are five types of ethernet cables available in the market ― Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, and Cat7. Among them all, Cat5 and Cat6 are most used.

Cat5 and Cat6 cables both connect the computer or server to a modem. However, most people don't know the main differences between them. The main difference between Cat5 and Cat6 is speed transmission and bandwidth. Cat5 introduced 10/100 Mbps ethernet over distances of up to 100 meters, also known as Fast Ethernet. Cat6 wiring can support up to 10 Gbps and frequencies of up to 250 MHz.
