What is Network Data Cabling?

Network cables are used to connect and transfer data and information between computers, routers, switches and storage area networks. There are multiple types of communications cables such as twisted pair, fiber optic, coaxial cable, and more.

Network Cabling is divided into two categories: Structured Cabling and Point to Point Cabling. The method that is used depends on the size of building and networking need.

What is Structured Cabling?

A structured cabling system is a complete system of cabling the supports multiple pieces of hardware in turn providing a comprehensive telecommunications infrastructure. This infrastructure serves a wide range of uses, such as to provide telephone service or transmit data through a computer network.

Structured Cabling can be found in single buildings or span across an entire campus. This is what makes it so important because of its capability to withstand the rapid changes that technology brings.

Structured Cabling components might include twisted pair and optical cabling as well as patch panels and patch cables. The structured cabling system begins at the point where the service provider (SP) terminates. This point is the point of demarcation (demarc) or Network Interface Device (NID).

What is Point to Point Cabling?

Point to Point Cabling refers to the method in which network cables are plugged from one point of hardware to another. Every piece of hardware is assigned its own cable for easy identification. This is commonly used for smaller buildings that do not have a need for complex structured cabling.

This is a simple solution that makes it easy to move points when used on a smaller scale. It is the perfect solution for systems that are not needing to scale up or expand to a larger campus.

When You Should Use Structured Cabling:

With the increase in data handling your systems face, there is an increase stress on cabling infrastructure. Without an upgraded infrastructure, your system could be facing downtime and slower speeds.

Structured Cabling differs from the former point-to-point cabling, which connected every piece of hardware to its own cable. Structured Cabling is not device dependent.

This makes structured cabling superior for larger networks because of the ability to easily find and solve a problem without having to sort through hundreds of cables that are both identical and likely unlabeled to find the one cable you need to fix.

Structured Cabling gives users:

✅ More bandwidth

✅ Less cables overall

✅ The ability to adapt to technology

✅ Faster speeds

✅ Cleaner look

Commonly Used Cables

Twisted Pair Cable

Our Twisted Pair cabling is most commonly used for our phone and modern ethernet cabling jobs. They will come in the form of shield twisted pair (STP) and unshielded twisted pair (UTP). For our cabling jobs, we use:

✅ Cat 5e
✅ Cat 6
✅ Cat 3

Fiber Optic Cable

Fiber Optic cabling is the perfect solution for long distance jobs. They are made up of optical fibers that carry images and signals across a building or campus.

One of the benefits of using a fiber optic cable includes the ability for light to travel a longer distance without losing much strength.

Coaxial Cable

Coaxial cables are highly used by phone and internet companies. The shielded design helps the coper core transmit data while protecting against interference and damage.

They have a wide range of use including Voice & Data, Television, Broadband Internet, and Computer Data.
