Complete Data Center Structured Cabling Solutions

With the complexities of today’s data centers, as well as the promise of higher speeds — think 40G and 100G — and technological breakthroughs in the not-too-distant future, it’s no wonder that the net worth of the structured cabling market is projected to be in the range of $13 billion by 2020.

In contrast to the many limitations inherent in point-to-point connections, structured cabling — or the use of smaller standardized subsystems — allows easier individual connections to be found, moved and generally managed. Clearly, for forward-thinking data centers, structured cabling infrastructure is the way to go when it comes to data cabling solutions.

Along with the scalability and reliability in power and cooling solutions, a proper cabling plan allows data centers to be prepared for the changes and system iterations they’re sure to face in the next one to two decades. Without a robust cabling plan, cost of ownership of data center equipment will increase, and any competitive edge will most likely be lost.

Data Center Cabling Solutions

To plan, select and install a cabling solution that will fully meet the data center demands of your company for the foreseeable future, consider the following factors:

• Uptime: With newer data centers, access to critical information is the lifeblood of the business, which means that uptime requirements — often with a rating as high as 99 percent — must be supported by the cabling system you install.
• Scalability: Whatever cabling solution you choose today will certainly be required to make room for more bandwidth and higher speeds in the future. Scalability is as important in your cabling infrastructure as it is to the equipment it connects.
• Future-proof: Along with scalability, your cabling system must be easy to adapt for future equipment changes, such as the push for more modular device usage and migrations to the cloud and virtual services.
