Structured Cabling
Structured Cabling is a telecommunications cabling infrastructure that consists of a number of standardized smaller elements, or subsystems, including:
- Entrance Facilities, where the building interfaces with the outside world;
- Equipment Rooms host equipment which serves the users inside the building;
- Telecommunications Rooms, where various telecommunications and data equipment resides, connecting the backbone and horizontal cabling subsystems;
- Backbone Cabling, which carries the signals between the entrance facilities, equipment rooms and telecommunications rooms;
- Horizontal Cabling, or the wiring from telecommunications rooms to the individual outlets on the floor;
- Work-Area Components, which connect end-user equipment to the outlets of the horizontal cabling system.
