What’s structured cabling?
Structured cabling system is the network that carries all your data and
multimedia services as well as security, VoIP, PoE, across your building or
campus.
It includes everything from the data center to the desktop, including cabling,
connecting hardware, equipment, telecommunications rooms, cable
pathways, work areas, and even the jacks on the wall plate in your office.

The importance of standards
A standards-based system provides a generic base for building a
communications infrastructure without compatibility worries.
Standards establish technical criteria and ensure uniform performance
among network systems and components. They enable you to build
modular networks that can easily accommodate new technologies,
equipment, and users.

International Standards
Standards establish technical criteria and ensure united performance
among network systems and components.
Organisations developing standards:
ANSI (American National Standards
Institute). This group coordinates and adopts
national standards in the U.S.
EIA (Electronics Industries Alliance).
TIA (Telecommunications Industry
Association).
ISO (International Organization for
Standardization).
IEC (International Electrotechnical
Commission).
IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers, Inc.).
