EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A structured cabling system, the mostly hidden infrastructure of wires and patch panels, forms the critical foundation of your local area network (LAN). Today more than ever, the quality and performance for your cabling system plays a direct and measurable role on the performance and reliability of your LANs and therefore, your corporate IT strategies.

The burden on the network continues to increase due to data intensive applications, streaming video, multimedia, and rapid growth of the number of users. It is unlikely that the complexity of applications or the number of users is going to decrease, so it can be presumed that the demands on network cabling will continue to increase as well.

Selecting the right media for a network is about predicting future business needs and is as relevant to an IT Director as it is to a consultant or installer. Anyone designing or managing these networks is faced with the task of ensuring the system meets today's requirements, while providing the foundation for future needs in the most cost effective way.

This guide will help you clarify the confusion between the technologies available. Furthermore, it provides independent authoritative advice which will enable you to make the right choice and select the most costeffective solution and performance for your organisations current and future physical infrastructure needs. The guide also outlines the importance of choosing the right installer to ensure the choices you make are implemented to the highest standard.

These savings can therefore further quantity' the direct Return of Investment (ROD from the network LAN. To this end, this guide will enable Managers to select the right infrastructure to meet the future needs of the business and improve IT cost-efficiency.
