Cabling is strategic
and important to the smooth operation of a network, both now and in the
future. Typically, cabling accounts for the smallest percentage of a company's
network investment, yet when done incorrectly, it can be the cause of many
expensive network problems. In addition, it should also be remembered that
a cabling system should not only meet today’s
requirements but also those of the company well into the future.
Structured cabling, defined by ISO/IEC, TIA/EIA and European standards,
is a standards-based method of engineering and installing a data and voice
cabling system within your business. It should provide the flexibility of
application independence, multiple logical topologies, easy moves, adds and
changes, as well as reduced administration costs. In the long run, it should
benefit the client by providing a substantial return on investment due to
lower life cycle costs, longer system life and savings of 60% - 80% per change.
