What Is Structured Cabling For Computer LAN Networks?
:: What is structured cabling? Modern computer LAN (local area network) wiring has the concept of structured cabling. With today’s high speed networks, people realize that the networking system must be broken up into shorter chunks that allow workstation wiring to be concentrated, with each cable length short enough to support the high data rate. Based on aforementioned reasons, structured wiring standard has been developed to help define a computer wiring system that stays within the maximum wiring distance for various LAN topologies. For example, the horizontal cable wiring length is 100 meters for 100BaseT networks. :: What do we do to observe the 100 meters wiring standard? In order to achieve the wiring concentration standard, telecommunication rooms (wiring centers) are placed at planned locations in a building. These telecom rooms are then interconnected to provide the total network connectivity for the building. This can be explained in a three stories building. At one same cor
