Structured Cabling Design

Subsystems are parts of a cabling network that work together to make the connections between devices. Six subsystems make up a structured cabling network: backbone, distribution and wiring. Collector, collector, interface, management are the other five. The backbone cables connect to the interfaces and distribution boxes in the system. The distribution cables carry the information collected from the devices to other locations in the building or network. The electrical signals are carried from one device to the next by wiring cables. A group of wire cables is called a collector cable. It takes the signals from the Network and bundles them together. Interface cables link different types of devices together, allowing for easy access and configuration. Structured cabling systems are managed and controlled by management systems.

The principles of structured cabling are to use standardized wiring and components, organize cables into categories corresponding to their function, and installing the cables in a planned sequence. Structured cabling system is a network wiring installation comprising of distinctive components: the cable, connectors, and systems. Organization of the cables and their placement in order to minimize noise, RF interference and prevents unauthorized use.

Subsystems are components of a cabling system that work together to provide the necessary connections between devices. The six subsystems of a structured cabling system are backbone, distribution, wiring, collector, interface and management. Backbone cables connect the distribution boxes and interfaces in the system. Distribution cables distribute the information collected by the devices throughout the building or network. Wiring cables carry the electrical signals from one device to another. Collector cables bundle together a group of wiring cables and take the signals away from the Network. Interface cables connect different types of devices together and allow for easy access to data and device settings. Management systems oversee and control aspects of a structured cabling system.
