All About Structured Cabling: Features, Benefits, and Installation!

Modern industrial buildings like commercial, financial, educational and others, are entangled in a complex system of cable channels that form a single structured system. It includes all telecommunication systems and communications (telephones, Internet, internal network) and has a clear structure and hierarchy.

The construction of such a system allows you to connect all workplaces in one or several buildings, an office into a single network that transmits video images and audio signals, in addition to basic data, network parameters, and settings. However, here we explain all about structured cabling from its features to installation:

What is a Structured Cabling System (SCS)? 

SCS is an integrated cable system that has a clear division into smaller sublevels that perform specific tasks, and a hierarchy. SCS allows you to combine in a single system from one office to several buildings. To build a network using special equipment and components: 

• Cables and cords (connecting); 
• Modular jacks; 
• Patch panels; 
• Information sockets; 
• Cable connectors; 
• Auxiliary equipment. 

Structured cabling systems (SCS) are designed based on the following principles: 

• Redundancy; 
• Universality; 
• Structuring. 

The first principle characterizes the construction of a cable system without taking into account today's needs, and on a regulatory basis that regulates the required number of outlets based on the size of the premises and their topology. 

Therefore, when conducting SCS, a larger volume is laid than is necessary at the moment, and further connection of additional workplaces should not cause difficulties. 

The second principle is universality. It implies the use of standards and norms when building a cable system, that is, SCS is built according to approved standards, and not for specific tasks. This principle allows further connection to the network of additional equipment from any manufacturers. 

The third principle is the structuredness. It implies the delegation of certain functions to individual subsystems. There is a breakdown of the overall cable system into smaller subsystems that strictly solve their problems. 

SCS Installation Features 

The installation process of SCS provides for the following steps: 

• Site survey, identification of weaknesses and prediction of the load in the future 
• Preparation of equipment, tools and facilities 
• Marking stations for servers, telecommunication cabinets, as well as communication racks 
• Installation of cable networks 
• Implementation of assembly, as well as the configuration of server racks, cabinets 
• Checking the performance and functions of the cable system 
• Commissioning of the project and the launch of the system. 

SCS Benefits for Business 

• The wide popularity of structured cable networks in business is due to a number of their positive qualities: 
• High-speed data transfer; 
• Long warranty period; 
• Fully justified initial cost. The return on investment is due to the reliability of the system and the long term of its operation; 
• The invariability of the network, even with its rapid development and expansion of the business; 
• The presence of open architecture; 
• The ability to transmit data on a bandwidth; 
• Ensuring uninterrupted and stable operation of all automated processes and devices (printers, computers, etc.); 
• Modularity, the possibility of making small changes, as well as building; 
• Full independence from changes in information technology; 
• Application of standard materials and components.

SCS is used in telephone, computer, security networks. It can be used to organize fire safety. Thanks to the complete independence of this system from the end equipment, users can form the most flexible infrastructure.

The system is also suitable for the installation of video surveillance, information storage servers, fast and secure data transfer between offices, small enterprises, individual employees. The use of SCS in the enterprise allows network administrators to control the operation of the entire cable system. 

Installation of Structured Cabling 

Cabling installations can be carried out simultaneously with the implementation of security systems, fire, and other alarms and be integrated into a single system. All work is carried out in compliance with fire safety rules, sanitary standards and international or other SCS standards. Most often, work is carried out simultaneously with repairs, equipment upgrades, and other similar work. 

Where to Order Installation of SCS? 

We offer installation, upgrading, and maintenance services for structured cabling systems. All types of work are carried out by experienced and highly qualified specialists. They use only professional equipment and innovative technological solutions. In addition, they can perform data cabling standards in Australia without any trouble.
