Structured Data Cabling

Structured cabling design and installation is governed by a set of standards that specify wiring data centres, offices, and apartment buildings for data or voice communications, using category 5 (CAT 5E) or category 6 cable (CAT 6) and modular sockets. These standards define how to lay the cabling in a star formation, such that all outlets terminate at a central patch panel, from where it can be determined exactly how these connections will be used.

Each outlet can be 'patched' into a data network switch, or patched into a 'telecoms patch panel' which forms a bridge into a private branch exchange (PBX) telephone system, thus making the connection a voice port.

Lines patched as data ports into a network switch require simple straight-through patch cables at the other end to connect a computer. Voice patches to PBXs require an adapter at the remote end to translate the configuration on modular connectors into the local standard telephone wall socket, an adapter must be present at the remote end as the 6-pin BT socket is physically incompatible with 8P8C.

Adlite have the expertise to cable hundreds of points to the largest of installations, with our expereince the key to a successful data cabling install is in the planning.

Always thinking to the future we can apply our knowledge to assist your company in developing an expansion safeguard, we can run extra cabling for future expansion.
