Why is Network Cabling Important to My Business?

Just like the nervous system where the brain sends communications through the body using a system of nerves, the cabling within your IT system transmits all the communications technology throughout your business network. To ensure reliable communication, an organized cabling system is vital to your company. A method known as network cabling, is the leading way in which businesses do this. Network cabling provides a controlled and well-defined approach to network cabling systems, and can only be installed by technicians licensed to do so.

Network Cabling Uses

Network Cabling has many uses within the IT infrastructure of your business. Key components within the system include the entrance facility, the MDF or main distribution frame, the backbone cable and pathway, the IMF or intermediate distribution frame, the data center and horizontal distribution systems. Using these components, the structured cabling system organizes the transfer of information throughout your IT network for the most efficient and dependable results.

It is used to transmit the following technology throughout your network:

• Data
• Voice
• Video
• Alarm

Benefits

Installing a network cabling system offers several important benefits to your company. These include:

• Reduced costs
• Decrease in “down” times
• Easy IT environmental management
• Fast and less disruptive expansion of IT system

In addition, many businesses notice that after installing a structured cabling system, their IT performance as a whole becomes more available and predictable.

Since these systems must be installed by licensed technicians, with experience in this area, you gain the benefits of knowing your system will achieve the performance you need, while also providing you with valuable documentation of the entire system layout. This documentation is important as it can reduce future IT-related problems, while also lessening the amount of time and labor spent on making modifications to the system.

One of the largest investments you make in your business, is your IT system. Without it, or with a system that isn’t able to meet all your needs as your business grows, you put yourself years behind your competition. Structured cabling provides the most up-to-date and precise transmission of all communications, giving your business the edge it needs to progress and prosper.
