Structured Cabling

Structured cabling design covers copper and fibre backbone, horizontal cabling, work-area outlets and testing/certification per ANSI/TIA-568, ISO/IEC 11801 and BICSI guidelines. This section covers Cat6A through Cat8 copper, OS2/OM3/OM4/OM5 fibre, MPTL and PoE++ infrastructure design, single-pair Ethernet for IoT, and the wireless (Wi-Fi 6E/7) network design that increasingly shares the same structured cabling backbone — for commercial, campus and data-centre projects across India and the GCC.
