What are Structured Cabling Solutions (SCS)?
Structured Cabling Solutions are the hierarchical layout of wiring components, installed throughout a building, that connect the office desktop to the information source. It's designed to be independent of the computer, telephone, or building control networks which use it, so that any or all can be updated with a minimum of rework to the cable plant.
