Structured Cabling & Data Infrastructure — Utah

Structured cabling is data and telecommunications cabling inside a building that is installed according to a set of defined standards. The standards dictate how cable is distributed within the building infrastructure, the methods of cable management, the proper termination of both ends of the cable, and the acceptable readings when certifying the cables.

Structured cabling is typically installed in a star formation where end-user connections are terminated at a local point called an Intermediate Distribution Frame (IDF), and then each IDF is connected via a backbone cable to a Main Distribution Frame (MDF). This is different from non-structured cabling where each end-user connection goes directly back to the MDF.

ANI designs and installs structured cabling systems that reduce costs, improve performance, and future-proof your infrastructure. Structured cabling reduces costs during installation by requiring less material and labor, costs less to maintain when connections are added or changed, and further reduces costs when troubleshooting voice and data problems by providing separate physical segments to analyze.

With Registered Communications Distribution Designer (RCDD) and BiCSI certified employees, ANI has the ability to take on structured cabling projects of any scale — from under 20 drops to over 2,000 drops — for government, education, healthcare, manufacturing, and commercial customers across Utah and the Western U.S.
