A Snapshot of Australian Network Infrastructure Practice

Structured cabling is the network infrastructure embedded within a building's structure, typically within ceilings, walls, and risers between floors. Installation of such infrastructure is costly and disruptive; thus, installing appropriate cable types is especially important. Structured cable often has a lifespan of 15 years or more and the consequences of a poor decision can be significant, especially if the chosen cable does not enjoy widespread support in the future.
