Structured Cabling
Structured cabling is building or campus communications cabling that consists of a number of standardized smaller elements (hence structured) called subsystems.
Structured cabling falls into six subsystems:
- Entrance Facilities are where the building interfaces with the outside world.
- Equipment Rooms host equipment which serve 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.
