At Medcom USA, we utilize organized cabling infrastructure to create organized telecommunications systems that meet design standards, thereby supporting all our automation products as well as data, voice, audio-video, CCTV, and network systems for buildings, homes, or offices. Unlike chaotic point-to-point cabling, this approach employs a hierarchical system of standardized cables (copper and fiber) and hardware to deliver predictable performance and effortless scalability.

​

Key components: A structured cabling system is divided into six distinct, interconnected subsystems:

​

Entrance Facility:

​

Where the telecommunications service provider's network enters the building and connects to the internal network.

​

Equipment Room:

​

The central hub housing main servers, switches, and core networking equipment.

​

Telecommunications Room (TR):

​

Floor-by-floor distribution centers connecting the main equipment room to local workspaces. Backbone cabling: High-speed pathways (typically fiber) connecting the Entrance Facility,

 

Equipment Room, and Telecommunications Rooms.

​

Horizontal Cabling:

​

Cabling that runs from the TRs—through walls or ceilings—directly to individual workstations.

​

Work Area Components:

​

Outlets, patch cords, and connectors linking end-user devices (computers, IP phones, printers) to the horizontal cabling. Main cable types: Twisted Pair Copper (Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a)—standard for horizontal cabling, VoIP phone connections, and local area networks (LANs). Fiber Optic—offers ultra-high bandwidth and speed with zero electromagnetic interference, making it ideal for backbone cabling and long-distance transmission. Coaxial—typically used for legacy video distribution, CCTV, and broadband internet.

 

Why businesses use it—Scalability:

​

Allows for the easy addition of new workstations, security cameras, or smart devices without having to run new cables from scratch. Simplified maintenance:

Centralized patch panels (or network racks) allow for the quick location and relocation of individual connections, thereby reducing network downtime.

Future-ready:

​

At medcom USA, we are equipped to handle higher bandwidths as technology evolves. Reduced clutter: Eliminates the notorious "spaghetti" mess of disorganized cables, improving airflow in server rooms and reducing safety risks.
