  • The backbone of a structured cabling system

    The backbone of a structured cabling system

    Cables are the backbone of any structured cabling system as they carry the information from one point to another. Its six core components—horizontal cabling, vertical/backbone cabling, work area components, telecommunications rooms, equipment rooms, and entrance. Structured cabling is the organized system of cables, connectors, racks, patch panels, and pathways that supports data, voice, video, security, wireless access, and building automation across a facility. It involves organizing and managing all the cables, connectors, and hardware required for voice, data, and video systems.
