Below is a general description of structured cabling

Structured cabling – definition and design

Structured cabling refers to telecommunications cabling, i.e. a complex system used to transmit data, voice, video and text. It applies to many types of networks, not just computer networks – with which it is often closely associated and equated. Structured cabling encompasses telecommunications, telephone, broadband and audiovisual transmission networks, as well as networks for CCTV, alarm systems and so on.

It is possible to create a structured cabling network capable of supporting several or even all of the sub-networks listed above, but this first requires an excellent design and a schematic diagram of the structured cabling.
Structured cabling allows for the straightforward connection of individual devices to the existing cabling system, e.g. telephones, computers, television monitors and other devices, all of which should operate in accordance with the IP standard.

What does structured cabling consist of?

Structured cabling comprises a number of components, including:

• telecommunications cables – vertical cabling (fibre-optic or copper cables) and horizontal cabling (the section between the user outlet and the distribution point);
• distribution points;
• user sockets as receiving devices for structured cabling
• communication connections;
• ICT cabinets;
• other materials and accessories such as: sockets, plugs, adapters, floor and surface-mounted boxes, junction boxes, etc. It is important to remember that structured cabling always involves a set of strict standards to be met, such as: the American EIA/TIA 568 (568A, 568B); the international ISO 11801; the European EN 50173 (EN 50174).
