Structured Wiring

Structured wiring is synonymous with structured cabling. Structured wiring is building or campus communications wiring infrastructure that consists of a number of standardized smaller elements (hence structured) called subsystems.

Structured wiring falls 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.
