Structured Cabling

"Good Cabling is Good Business"

Structured cabling is the lifeline for the entire Information Technology network and the core competency of CN Infrastructure Services. It is the foundation on which all other business activities depend. A properly designed, installed, and administered cabling system reduces costs through each phase of its life cycle: installation; moves, adds, and changes; maintenance and administration. The importance of cabling should be neither overlooked nor underestimated.

Inferior cabling systems are the cause of up to 70% of network downtime. With costs that range between $50 and $100 per hour, it is easy to see how important it is to control downtime. By installing a standards compliant structured cabling system much of this downtime can be effectively eliminated.

Although a structured cabling system will outlive most other networking components, it represents only 5% of the total network investment. A structured cabling system represents a sound investment in the productivity of your company.

Cabling Life Cycle

Cabling is the longest life cycle component of the entire network, outlived only by the building shell. A standards compliant cabling system can "future-proof" your network and guarantee future application support, ensuring that your investment will continue to serve you for the full extent of its life cycle.
