Data cabling may look like a mess of cords and wires all jumbled up in a colorful pile to the average onlooker. However, to the networking professional structured data cabling is actually the core of a properly functioning multimedia system.
Structured data cabling is the foundation of any business network, the pathway to transmit data, video, and voice information. This infrastructure provides connectivity to your servers, computers, and other network devices. This then routes voice, data, and multimedia traffic through your network and out to the world. Just as you would not construct a building without first installing a solid foundation, you should not build a network without first designing and building a solid cabling infrastructure.

Without the proper cabling, your network can not run at its full potential. Approximately 75% of network faults are cable related, due mostly to incorrect installation procedures.
