Structured Cabling Installation
Structured Cabling Installation carried out by a qualified telecommunications technician will have your equipment up and running correctly.
This structured cabling has come a long way since the 1970s when copper wire and simple connectors were the norm. Today, the installation of cabling for telecommunications has reached new levels of technology. Mainly thanks to new materials and the demands that it must meet.
How Structured Cabling Works Today
Today, cabling is a myriad of different materials. They still include copper, but also coaxial and fibre cables that are connected by a standardized method. The guidelines for telecommunications cabling include the following principles.
Generic: Primarily this for residential and small business usage. For requirements that are relatively easy to meet for low demands areas of technology.
Commercial: This standard is for larger buildings which house advanced technology and require greater sophistication for connecting computers, servers, and other equipment.
In other words, generic applies to homes, retail shops, and businesses that connect standard computer and portable electronic devices. While commercial is for larger companies that use more extensive devices and equipment that require higher standards.
The Six Types of Cabling Components
Entrance Facilities: The cabling enters a structure from the outside, through a private network or local service carrier. Thus, cabling enters and is connected to points, patch panels, power supplies, and the like while being shielded from surges.
Equipment Room: A room where entrance cabling connects to the internal wiring of the building. It contains network switches, servers, and PBXs.
Backbone Cabling: Sometimes called rising or vertical cabling, this links telecommunications with entrance facilities and equipment rooms. Hence, this cabling has two subsystems that have horizontal cross-connects along with the cross-connects attached to the main cross connecting system.
Horizontal Cabling: This is cabling that runs between rooms on the same floor. It acts as branches to the vertical cabling system so that all electronic equipment and devices are reached.
Telecommunications Room: A dedicated room for hardware that is connected by different forms of cabling. This is where servers, computers, and other electronic equipment is kept in a cool, controlled environment.
Work Area: The last destination of the structured cabling system is the work area. The connector or jack in the wall where a user connects their device to the telecommunications system.
Why Cabling Installation is Important?
The right planning and installation ensure that a wide variety of data and voice communications are properly connected. From the outlet inside a home to the full wiring system of a skyscraper. The structured approach means fewer mistakes are made with maximised coverage.
- Scalable
- Flexible
- Reliable
- Cost Efficient
Not only is the installation process more uniform it allows for expansion after the initial installation is complete. Plus, it provides flexibility for different applications and new technologies to be applied.
The reliability is grounded in proper practices that reduce signal loss, lower interference. Therefore, make identifying issues faster so downtime is at the minimal level.
Proper structured cabling installation means expanding connections between all points inside a structure while reducing potential issues. This requires proper materials, planning, and execution for the telecommunications cabling to provide full coverage.
