What exactly is structured cabling?
The Structured Cabling Introduction
Structured cabling is a planned method of installing the cables within a structure. It may also refer to the equipment that is placed in a specific order for this reason. Installers must plan their task to ensure that they provide an organized cabling system to the customer. Lack of planning can produce an untidy or inefficient outcome.

Imagine you’re a business proprietor and you’re commissioned to design a new building for a new office. As your company grows it will be adding new devices, access points, and new employees. Additionally, you’re making a significant investment, and you’ll want this building to serve for a long time.
You decide to hire an agency to visit and create a network installation to meet your requirements. The system must be adaptable. Additionally, it should be designed to be future-proofed so that it can serve you with the latest technologies. In addition, as with any other effective network component, redundancy needs to be built into the system. The structured cabling system achieves this.
Your average Joe may have personal networking experience. However, it’s likely that this experience did not require a lot of planning.
Structured cabling projects may be small as well. For instance, a smaller company may only require an installation for a couple of NVR surveillance cameras.
The factors that affect the cabling structure plan are:
1. The Cable What’s the top?
We believe that Cat6 UTP is still the most suitable option for commercial and residential uses. It’s economical and provides 10Gbps data transfers for distances between 37m and 55m. Beyond that Cat6 can provide 1Gbps speeds for transfer.
Cat6 External Grade UTP Ethernet Cable
We have three varieties of Cat6 cable, along with some Cat5e that are all available in 305 metre batches. Above is the Cat6 UTP external grade PE cable, in 23 AWG. Are you confused about the title? Let’s break it down:
Cat6 refers to Category 6. The higher the number of categories is, however the better quality of the cable. The more efficient this cable is, the more expensive the cost per millimetre.
Higher bandwidth
Higher max rate of data transfer
Today, you can often find these types of cable:
Cat5e is capable of providing speeds up to gigabit (1Gbps) speeds. In the majority of cases, it should suffice. However, in the interest of future-proofing, keep in the mind that Cat6 can provide the speed of 10Gbps for data transmission. If you require 10Gbps data transfer speeds that go beyond 50 meters, you should consider Cat6a or higher.
Cat6a and above is always with shielding. The shielding is very thick and makes the cables more heavy and less flexible than the cables in lower categories. Check out the Hdmi cable price in Nigeria. They are offered in large wooden spools rather than the simple-serve boxes that you can find with Cat6 or Cat5e.

It is unlikely that you have to (or would you like) to spend money on either Cat7 as well as Cat8 technology. Both allow for extremely fast data transfer, but this decreases over longer distances.
Cat8 can support 40Gbps speeds for data transfer, however the 10Gbps speed of supply being rare and applications that are able to benefit from these speeds are rare and infrequent.
For comparison, a spool containing 305m (1000ft) of Cat8 smart serial cable would cost approximately PS1,000.00. For data centers as well as hedge funds which require to be on the cutting edges of technology, these investment options might be a good idea. In all other cases however, the price is inexplicably high.
Foiled Twisted, Shielded, and Unshielded Pairs
The ‘UTP’ name of our product “Cat6 UTP External Grade PE Cable” is a reference to “Unshielded Twisted Pairs’.
Manufacturers may combine these methods too. And the shielding or foil can be…
Wraps each twist in a separate couple (foil just).
The term SF/FTP means (Shielded as well as Foiled by Twisted Pairs).
What does shielding do?
Shielding and foiling guard from crosstalk (interference). This is a way to provide better performance. The price per meter will increase in order to reflect the performance improvements.
The shielded and/or foiled bundles made of twisted pairs reduce crosstalk among cables.
Combining both techniques lets cables reach higher speeds for data transfer.
Other enhancements to cable design that improve performance include:
An enterprise depends upon its networks for much more than just casual use. Therefore, we suggest incorporating crosstalk within the cable design. This can be in the route you choose to run the cable, or the product you choose to use.
