The advantages of a compliant Structured Cabling System are:

• Consistency -- Structured cabling means the same cabling system for everything. Everything is clearly labeled and easily Adjusted by personnel without technical backgrounds.
• Support for multi-vendor equipment -- A standard cable plant will support your applications and hardware even after you change your vendors. It will also allow you the flexibility of being able to choose from a number of products and link them together.
• Simple moves/adds/changes -- Need to move a connection from one desk to another? Add a modem connection for the general manager? Add an extra data port for the salesman's laptop? Share a file server or color printer? This is all easily done with a simple cable change in the machine room.
• Simple troubleshooting -- Even cables that were installed correctly can fail. With a structured wiring system, problems are less likely to down the entire network, easier to isolate, and easier to fix. This means less downtime and less maintenance costs.
• Support for future applications -- If you install a Category 5, or even Category 3 compliant system, your cable plant will support current and future application like multimedia, video conferencing, and VOIP, with little or no upgrade difficulties.
