Understanding Structured Cabling:
- set of standards defined by TIA/EIA
- idea is to create a safe, reliable cabling infrastructure for all the devices that need interconnection
Structured Cable Network Components:
- requires a telecommunications room, horizontal cabling, work area
Horizontal Cabling
- cabling that goes horizontally from telecommunications to work room
- a CAT5e or better UTP
- should always be solid core
Solid Core vs. Stranded Core
- solid core UTP uses a single solid wire
- stranded core is a bundle of tiny wire strands
Number of Pairs:
- should use four-pair UTP
- larger bundled UTP in higher-end telephone setups
Choosing Your Horizontal Cabling:
- lower CAT level cable will work on most networks
