Structured cabling is the design and installation of cabling systems to support multiple devices, such as computers and hardware. Smaller companies with just a few computers typically don’t need structured cabling, but as they grow and need to bring in data banks and additional workstations, cable management is essential.
Today’s organizations are, out of necessity, providing more flexibility for their workers through mobile devices and cloud solutions. That being said, your growing business still needs onsite hardware like servers and powerful workstations with wired Internet connections.
When the need for hardware increases, it tends to cause “Cable Confusion.” Wired connections are often difficult to maintain, and without proper organization they can turn into a confusing mess. Think of a tangled, twisted mess spilling off of server racks and shelves – not a pretty sight.
This isn’t just annoying – it’s a serious problem that causes major setbacks if cables stay in this state and wind up damaged or disconnected. And, in a worst-case scenario, that nest of messy cabling can be a fire hazard.
By now you’re probably thinking, “This is all about keeping cables organized? Why would we hire outside help to handle something we can do on our own?” Well… The truth is that most people really don’t know how to organize cables and wired connections properly, and because of this, they set themselves up for chaotic failures.
Like with just about everything else related to IT, it’s best to leave it to the experts. Here’s why:
The Standards for Structured Cabling are governed by three different organizations:
They oversee a set of standards for data and voice communications using various kinds of cable. These standards provide best practices that data specialists must use when setting up complex wired networks. With a properly installed system, requirements are met not just today, but in the future – when you add hardware down the road, it will be supported.
Structured cabling is divided into four different sections. Each section serves as a checklist when installing and organizing cables. They’re meant to work together during the setup process.
There are a lot of different situations where these standards can be used, and they each require different strategies depending on the situation. For example, working on an older building that’s been converted into an office may require more innovative solutions than if you were working in a modern office building built with these codes in mind.
This doesn’t even touch on manufacturer warranties and how they can place restrictions on how installation has to be approached, or how scaling up in the future will probably change cabling requirements. The bottom line? More often than not, structured cabling is more complex than it looks. That’s why it’s important to find vendors, service providers, and installation experts like Alltek Services who understand structured cabling and best practices.
It’s important to install the right type, size, and amount of data cabling in the most strategic locations to make adding to your IT infrastructure in the future as simple as possible. Alltek Services has successfully completed hundreds of structured cabling projects in Polk and Hillsborough Counties.

That depends on your facility and what it’s used for. Structures such as high-rises, stadiums and other commercial buildings require fire-resistant wiring in order to be to code. Our experts will install cabling that conforms to ULC-S139, “Fire Test for the Evaluation of Integrity of Electrical Cables.” The ULC requires a circuit integrity of 1-2 hours, depending on the application.
