IoT Demands a Backbone
Smart buildings pack sensors, cameras, access control, and HVAC onto IP networks. All of it rides on structured cabling — usually Cat6A horizontal with a fiber backbone.
Design Implications
- More outlets per zone than legacy designs
- PoE++ powering devices, raising gauge requirements
- Centralized patching for easier reconfiguration
We help integrators specify cabling that won't need a forklift upgrade in three years.
