These all are installed individually but they work as one without affecting each other. Work area, horizontal, backbone, telecommunications room, equipment room and entrance facility are 6 subsystems used in structured cabling system.

 

Short Descriptions About Subsystems

 

Work Area

Work area is where telecommunications equipments meet with users and it have several other components too.

 

Horizontal

When the cabling starts from telecommunication to work area and ends at outlets it’s called horizontal subsystems.

 

Backbone

As the name suggests backbone is important part in subsystems. It is all about connecting telecommunication room, equipment room, building entrance and all other parts with cables.

 

Telecommunication Room

This is the dedicated are for the termination hardware and communications equipment.

 

Equipment Room

This is a solution for controlling complexity of delicate equipments.

 

Entrance Facility

Entrance facility is the place from where the main structured cabling system starts from and all the connections from service providers are connected.
