What is a structured cabling?
The term structured cabling system (sometimes called structured wiring system or SWS) refers to all of the cabling and components installed in a logical, hierarchical way. It's designed to be relatively independent of the computer (or telephone) network which uses it, so that either can be updated with a minimum of rework to the cable plant.

A clear view of current and future requirements is important when planning a cabling system. The solution must be efficient, flexible, scaleable, installed professionally, thoroughly tested, and guaranteed.

A structured cabling system provides a universal platform on which to build your overall information strategy. With a flexible cabling infrastructure it can support multiple voice, data, video, multimedia systems, regardless of their manufacturer, in any desired area. Each outlet being separately configurable from a central position giving flexible and fault tolerant network cabling.

What are the advantages of a structured cabling system?

A structured cabling system takes a little more planning and can cost a little more. Why bother for just a small office / home office installation?

Consistency - An SCS means the same cabling system for everything. Do you really want to figure out how to install and troubleshoot the phone cabling, then figure out the ethernet cabling, then figure out the ISDN cabling...? What happens when you revisit this in 6 months to make a change for two-line phones?

Support for multi-vendor equipment - A standards-based cable plant will support your applications and hardware even after you change or mix & match vendors. Some examples of proprietary cabling are the special terminators and wiring sometimes used by PhoneNet cabling, Etherwave cabling, and by phone/fax/answering machine switching devices. When you upgrade to another vendor or model, will the cabling have to be reworked?
