What are the Importance of Reliable Cabling

We cannot stress enough the importance of reliable cabling. Two recent studies vindicated our
evangelical approach to data cabling. The studies showed:
1)Data cabling typically accounts for less than 10 percent of the total cost of the network
infrastructure.
2)The life span of the typical cabling system is upwards of 16 years. Cabling is likely the second
most long-lived asset you have (the first being the shell of the building).
3)Nearly 70 percent of all network-related problems are due to poor cabling techniques and
cable-component problems.
these were facts that we already knew from our own experiences. We have spent
countless hours troubleshooting cabling systems that were nonstandard, badly designed,
poorly documented, and shoddily installed. We have seen many dollars wasted on the installation
of additional cabling and cabling infrastructure support that should have been part of the
original installation.
So give important to cabling.
