What is Structured Cabling?

What is Structured Cabling?

Structured Cabling System utilizes the products regarding as the transmission medium of building voice, data, image and video etc that from Copper cabling system, cable cabling system and management cabling system and connected to the external network of the building and forms the support platform for signal communication.

Copperled structured cabling system enables the interconnection of a wide range of telecommunications and control equipment products from different suppliers.  Copperled network products brings to hierarchical nodes and links in a star physical topology to facilitate installation, maintenance, and management.  It makes the network move, expand and change easily without interruption. 


Six Subsystems of Structured Cabling System

Copperled smart building cabling solution consists of the following standard structured subsystems.
Six Subsystems of Structured Cabling System
6 Subsystems
Entrance facility

A communication connects multiple buildings. 

Equipment server room

The room for network management and information exchange at an appropriate location in each building. 

Telecommunication room

The system for Identification and recording the equipment between horizontal cabling and vertical cabling.

Vertical cabling

The cabling installed and connects between equipment room and telecommunication room in the building. 

Horizontal cabling

The cabling connects telecommunications room and socket used in the working area in the floor.

Work area

With multiple network interfaces, it connects between the socket of horizontal cabling to the end-user's equipment such as computer, printer and others.

Types of Cables Used in Structured Cabling System

We all know that structured cabling systems are composed of different areas, and cables are the most important part of them. Each of these cables has a different purpose. The standard specifies how the actual cables are laid out in the system, but one of the advantages of doing so is to make them easier to identify.

The type of cable that your structured system will use depends on your needs. They can be made of copper or fiber and have different specifications. The following are some of the main cable types used in structured cabling systems. Copperled mainly provides you with optical fiber cables and twisted pairs. For more details, please contact sales@copperled.com directly.


Types of Cables Used in Structured Cabling System
Fiber Optic Cable

Fiber optic cables are very similar to cables, except that they are made of optical fibers to transmit signals and images. These optical fibers are made of silica or plastic and are coated with more layers of plastic inside the cable.

Twisted Pair Cable

Twisted-pair cables are commonly used to connect homes and businesses to telephone companies. These cables date back to the time of radio and telegraph, and were actually invented by Alexander Graham Bell!

There are two types of twisted-pair cables:

Shielded twisted pair (STP)

Unshielded twisted pair (UTP)

UTP cables are most commonly used in telephone and computer networks.


Coaxial Cable

Coaxial cable is a transmission line that carries low-loss high-frequency electrical signals. Coaxial cables are usually used for cable television, telephone, broadband Internet, computer data, and connect radio transmitters and receivers to antennas.

How Does Structured Cabling Work

Structured cabling system is a network cabling solution for organizing infrastructure. The beauty of structured cabling is that it can accommodate any new hardware you add while supporting more and more data that your business uses every day, helping your business face the future. As your business grows, it makes things easier to manage!

Structured Cabling Standards

Structured Cabling Standards mainly have 3 types as follows:

a. At the end of 1995, EIA/TIA 568 was officially updated to EIA/TIA /568A. 

b. At the same time, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) issued the corresponding standard ISO/IEC 11801. 

c. EN 50173 belongs to European wiring standard.


Structured Cabling Design & Structured Cabling Installation

A structured cabling system is an assembly of different components that, provide the optimum infrastructure for a wide range of business communication uses. Structured cabling companies make up this assemblage of 6 subsystems, each with their specific function. The 6 structured cabling subsystems include: Horizontal Cabling, Vertical Cabling, Entrance Facility Structured Cabling, Consolidation Point Structured Cabling, Telecommunications Enclosure and Work Area Components.

Horizontal Cabling
Vertical Cabling
Entrance Facility Structured Cabling
Telecommunications Enclosure
Consolidation Point Structured Cabling
Work Area Components
Horizontal Cabling

Horizontal Cabling subsystems connect work area telecommunications outlets to a telecommunications closet and include most of the cabling in the total system. Other components include cable terminations (where wire or fiber connects to a device), telecommunication outlets (the data/voice outlet that desk top phones and computers plug into), one or more transition points (where one type of cable connects to another type), cross connections between cable runs, equipment and subsystems (primarily using patch cords and jumpers).

Vertical Cabling

Vertical Cabling, also known as Backbone Cabling, is the core subsystem of cables and components that provide inter connections between and among telecommunication rooms, entrance facilities, and equipment rooms. Besides the actual cables and connections, backbone cabling includes the cable routing components such as conduits, raceways and through-floor penetration sleeves.

Entrance Facility Structured Cabling

Entrance Facility Structured Cabling subsystem includes all the components for connecting a building to an outside data / telecommunication service provider or to a private network cabling system. Entrance Facility cabling can also be the connection of backbone cabling between buildings. It is where the service provider connects with the customer/building being served. Electrical codes enforced in the location of the building dictate required components for this subsystem.

Telecommunications Enclosure

The Telecommunications Enclosure (or room for larger networks) is where the horizontal cabling and vertical cabling subsystems terminate and cross connect. Components include main and intermediate cross connects, patch cords, auxiliary and connecting equipment.

Consolidation Point Structured Cabling

For even larger networks, one or more centralized Equipment Rooms that are environmentally controlled for cooling are used to house major equipment such as routers, servers and other mechanical termination components. They are the consolidation point for structured cabling systems. For smaller networks, the Entrance Facility or telecommunications enclosure/room can also serve the same purpose.

Work Area Components

Work Area subsystems are what connect the end user’s workstation equipment of computers, phones, copiers and more to the telecommunications connector which is the end result of the horizontal cabling subsystem. Work area components include the outlet and patch cables, as well as PC adapter, fiber and other cables. Usually, the work station equipment is also considered components of this subsystem.

Advantages of Structured Cabling

With the in-depth development of global social informatization and economic internationalization, information network system is becoming more and more important. It has become the most important infrastructure of a country and an important symbol of a country's economic strength.  Structured cabling wiring is the "nervous system" of information network system with below advantages:
