Structured Cabling is a Tech Buzzword
When you search online for the tech term structured cabling, you will see it gets tossed around a lot. But like the Cloud, it is a buzzword that may not always be used accurately and gets confusing to the general population – and even techies. So, what exactly is structured cabling?
According to fine folks at the Fiber Optic Association, structured cabling is a “standardized architecture and components for communications cabling specified by the EIA/TIA TR42 committee and used as a voluntary standard by manufacturers to ensure interoperability.”
If you find your way into TIA TR42, your search will likely bring you to discover that structured cabling is technically defined and outlined even further by TIA 568. This is all pretty intense, so if you are not a tech, here is simply What is Structured Cabling in plain English.
Structured Cabling is telecommunications cabling infrastructure
in an office building, campus, or other similar major structures – and it consists of a number of standardized smaller elements (AKA structured). Even easier, it is the backbone technology required for your front end computers and devices to connect to the internet, place calls, secure your company data, and even help recover from data disasters.
