Cabling trends

Abstract

There can scarcely be a facilities manager who is not beset by cabling problems or familiar with horror stories of bad cabling. Several eminent reports have highlighted the problem of shoehorning cables into buildings which have not been designed with their provision in mind. The majority have been installed in an ad hoc fashion without any understanding of what the overall requirement was or will be. Even where facilities such as false floors existed, freedom led to anarchy. As a result, some of these privileged users have been forced to relocate if they wanted to change their cabling system.
