Structured Cabling: Backbone Cabling vs Horizontal Cabling
Computer networks require complicated and specific cabling, particularly in business or academic settings. The cables used in cabling the networks must be made from certain materials. Backbone cabling and horizontal cabling are two main cabling methods used in today’s structured cabling system and neither is dispensable. Since backbone cabling and horizontal cabling have many differences, cables used these two structured cabling systems are also different from each other. Backbone cabling vs horizontal cabling: what’s the difference between them? What kind of cables are suitable for backbone cabling and horizontal cabling? The knowledge will be introduced in this article. Structured Cabling System Basics To understand backbone cabling and horizontal cabling, let’s understand the five subsystems of structured cabling firstly. These five subsystems are often found throughout a building and are connected together so that various types of data can be transmitted consistently and securely
