Structured Cabling Systems

In general terms, structured cabling systems (SCS) reticulate data and voice services around the office over communications grade cable. This means that any outlet can be a phone point, or a data point. The change is made simply with patching within a centrally located equipment cabinet, which is usually where active switching equipment, telephone systems and servers are also located. Structured cabling systems have the benefits of making adds, moves and changes as the business develops extremely easy, whilst also being able to be done in-house without the need for specialist technicians. A SCS is also a base starting point for implementation of Voice over IP (VoIP) telephony services.
