What does network wiring connect?

Network wiring carries data between workplace devices, network equipment, phone systems, wireless access points and connected security systems.

Benefits of structured cabling

• Organized connections that are easier to identify
• Clearer troubleshooting when a connection develops a problem
• Support for new devices and future expansion
• Cleaner cable pathways, racks and network closets

Signs your cabling should be evaluated

• Slow or inconsistent network connections
• Frequent disconnects
• Cables that are difficult to trace
• Problems adding new workstations or devices
• Older cabling that may not meet current needs

Planning a network wiring project

A useful assessment considers the number of devices, bandwidth requirements, future expansion, cable pathways, racks, patch panels and termination points. Cat6, Cat6a and fiber optic cabling can serve different parts of a network.

A practical installation process

1. Review the building, devices and current network
2. Design cable routes and connection points
3. Install, terminate and label the cabling
4. Test connections and review the completed system
5. Plan future additions or maintenance
