Data cabling installation was simpler and straightforward not so long ago. Most systems of the time wrapped two-pair or sometimes four-pair of copper wire in a binder.
Connection points consisted of using a connection block paired with switching devices. But times have changed and such installations on the Sunshine Coast have transformed with the modern technology available.
The growth of data transmission starting in the 1970s has brought about new types of wiring and connectors. Along with new types of simplified wiring infrastructure to keep pace with advancing technologies like NBN.
The result is the modern structured cabling system today connects different types of devices into a single network.
How Structured Cabling System Works?
The process is based on using standardised cabling and connectors which bring together different types of wiring. This means that standard copper along with coaxial and fiber can be connected within a single system.
The system itself consists of six different components for maximum efficiency.
- Entrance Facility: Where the cabling enters the building
- Equipment Room: The cabling connects to the wiring infrastructure
- Backbone Cabling: Vertical cabling that connects to each floor
- Telecommunications: Dedicated utility room that includes patch cords and connections
- Horizontal Cabling: Cabling which spreads horizontally across each floor
- Work Area: The connector to a user device
Data Cabling Installation
Of course, there may be some variation depending on the type and structure of the building where the data cabling installation takes place. However, this system is designed for flexibility which makes changes relatively simple to make.
By creating a simplified system, this approach can be achieved in less time while reducing the complexity of the installation. The greater efficiency combined with standardised components also means that fewer complications arise during the installation.
Why Use Data Cabling and Structured Cabling?
The main benefit is that structured cabling simplifies the data cabling installation process. From simple installations such as placing new coaxial cable into a residence to wiring a multi-story building.
By using structured cabling this ensures standards are met for electrical transmission. This includes proper resistance, length of cabling, and connectors.
Other advantages include the following.
Troubleshooting:
Perhaps the most arduous of tasks is to discover a faulty cable amid dozens, if not hundreds of wires and connection points. By creating a standard process, narrowing down the potential fault becomes far easier.
Simplified Installation:
The entire data cabling installation process becomes easier. First through repetition since the same system is used time and time again. But also, because snap-on connectors can be used which makes the process go faster.
Cost Reduction:
Because the same system is used, the hardware components are all standardised. The result is fewer custom wires, connectors, and equipment are used. Therefore, the installation becomes faster thanks to the process which uses the same components and becomes familiar to installation technicians.
Proper data cabling installation on the Sunshine Coast consists of using the structured cabling system. The advantages of simplicity, durability, and flexibility make this type of system desirable, especially for multi-floor office buildings.
