What are the components of structured cabling?
A properly configured network will ensure faster speeds and better performance for all devices connected to it. Structured cabling can provide an improved cable management system, which in turn can improve overall network performance. A backbone cable, also known as a spine or mid-spine cable, is a network cable that connects the various components of a LAN together. Backbone cables provide essential connectivity between servers, workstations, peripheral devices and storage. They are typically thicker than regular cables in order to withstand greater loading and abuse.
