Structured cabling allows the communication between different pieces of equipment within a building. This enables the interconnection of desktop items such as computers, phones and printers with central servers.

The life expectancy of your cabling infrastructure is far greater than that of any hardware you will connect to it. Because of this, it's important to plan well and think ahead when deciding upon your cabling design.

A well designed, correctly installed standards-compliant structured wiring system backed by a comprehensive warranty programme is the best way of protecting this investment and allowing for future needs.

Structured cabling is based on agreed standards or categories, currently Cat5e (Category 5 Enhanced) and Cat6 being the most common current installations.
