Structured Cabling

'GOOD CABLING IS
GOOD BUSINESS'

Structured cabling is the lifeline for the entire Information Technology network. It is the foun- dation on which all other business activities depend. A properly designed, installed, and administered cabling system reduces costs through each phase of its life cycle: installation; moves, adds, and changes; maintenance and administration. The importance of cabling should be neither overlooked nor underestimated.

Inferior cabling systems are the cause of up to 70% of network downtime. With costs that range between $1,000 and $50,000 per hour it is easy to see how important it is to control downtime. By installing a standards compliant structured cabling system much of this downtime can be effectively eliminated.

Although a structured cabling system will outlive most other networking components, it represents only 5% of the total network investment. A structured cabling system represents a sound investment in the productivity of your company.

Cabling Life Cycle

Cabling is the longest life cycle component of the entire network, outlived only by the building shell. A standards compliant cabling system can "future-proof" your network and guarantee future application support, ensuring that your investment will continue to serve you for the full extent of its life cycle.
