Structured cabling is an organized approach to cabling infrastructure. To completely grasp this concept, it is important to first consider what non-structured cabling is. In many data centers, the conventional cabling methodology used is defined as “point-to-point”, also known as spaghetti cabling. That method runs patch cables (or “jumpers”) directly to and from the hardware that needs connectivity. In this case, it often results in a complex and disorganized network infrastructure. As businesses grow and technology advancements continue, such cabling methods become increasingly inefficient and troublesome to manage.
Structured Cabling VS
Point-to-Point Cabling
However, in the structured wiring system, a series of patch panels and trunks are used to create a structure that allows for hardware ports to be connected to a patch panel at the top of the rack. That patch panel is then connected to another patch panel via a trunk (multi-fiber assembly designed for use in conveyance) in the Main Distribution Area. The MDA is the key aspect of structured cabling. This is where all the Moves, Adds, and Changes can be made with short-length patch cords.
