Structured cabling is a type of infrastructure that supports the performance of an organisation’s cabling system or network. It is the glue that binds all PCs, phones and other devices used within the business together – providing a reliable and versatile solution to a wide range of communication requirements. The importance of organised cabling systems will vary from business to business, but for the majority, it can ensure a highly reliable and cost-effective network infrastructure that will stand the test of time.

Below we have explored in-depth the benefits of structured network cabling and why your business could benefit from our specialist network and experienced data cabling services.

 

  • Future Proof Investment:

By far one of the most significant benefits of a structured cabling system is the high bandwidth, which makes it a reliable infrastructure for supporting business growth. In today’s competitive business world, having adaptable IT that is scalable and can respond quickly to industry changes is vital. To retain existing customers and continuously acquire new ones, businesses need a data centre that supports the quick and easy development and deployment of new services. With structured cabling, you can rest assured your network infrastructure won’t become outdated and will support all emerging applications as your business grows.

 

  • Simplicity:

There is a high level of simplicity and straightforwardness that comes with an organised cabling system. In a typical office environment, several different devices and IT equipment are being used at the same time, so running everything off one single system eliminates the complexity of having multiple wiring infrastructures in place. For example, if a problem occurs, it is far easier to identify the issue and solve it with structured network cabling. This means far less time and money lost in the long-term.

 

  • Cost-Effective:

Structured data cabling is a cost-effective solution to the smooth running of your business. The scalable and highly flexible network will provide a continuous flow of information and will be able to cope with the high demands placed on it. This in turn will boost productivity and drive business success. One simple cabling system also reduces power and maintenance costs and eliminates the time and money spent on locating and rectifying any issues.

 

  • Enhanced Flexibility:

A structured cabling system provides an enhanced level of flexibility – helping to improve performance and drive business growth. This is because it can quickly and easily accommodate moves, adds and changes, which dramatically reduces installation time and ensures optimum adaptability to any network infrastructure changes. The flexibility also makes the system easy to take apart and move to a new office location.

 

  • Reduced Risk of Downtime:

There is a high risk of human error and mistakes being made with multiple, unorganized cabling structures, which can cause workflow disruptions and network downtime. As mentioned before, a well-planned cabling system also means easier troubleshooting, so it’s easier to identify and rectify faults quickly. Since structured cabling ensures organization, it’s easy to solve various problems on connectivity, resulting in reduced downtime.

 You are likely to spend a lot of time trying to identify a cable that has caused a problem when using multiple wiring infrastructures. This can reduce productivity since workers will have to wait until network troubleshooting is complete; which hurts your business revenue. However, with structured cabling, these problems are solved very fast thus reducing downtime.

 

  • Adaptability:

Structure cabling systems come with very high bandwidth. With high bandwidth, the system can support any future applications that may be introduced to your business, i.e., video conferencing or multimedia, without interruption of the current system. Therefore, you will always be assured that your cabling system won’t become outdated in the future.
