Structured Cabling Systems (SCS)

Structured cabling systems also known as (SCS) are a set of cabling and connectivity products that support voice, data and video in office buildings, data centers and other structures.

Structured cabling systems include building or campus communications cabling infrastructure consisting of a number of standardized smaller elements (hence structured) called subsystems.

Structured cabling systems fall into six subsystems:

• Entrance Facilities are where the building interfaces with the outside world.
• Equipment Rooms host equipment which serves the users inside the building.
• Telecommunications Rooms house telecommunication equipment which connects the backbone and the horizontal cabling subsystems.
• Backbone cabling connects between the entrance facilities, equipment rooms and telecommunications rooms.
• Horizontal cabling connects telecommunications rooms to individual outlets on the floor.
• Work-Area Components connect end-user equipment to outlets of the horizontal cabling system.
