The design and installation of a cabling system are critical to supporting multiple hardware uses. Usually, structured cabling is defined as building or campus telecommunications cabling infrastructure that serves as the foundation of a communication network. 

Often these network structures are specified by some standards like TIA/EIA-568. These standards provide guidelines for data center design, management, and operation. But typically, structured cabling consists of a number of standardized smaller elements. 

In a structured cabling system, there is a structure created by a series of patch panels and trunks. This method allows for a connection from hardware ports to a patch panel at the top of the rack. Then, that patch panel is connected to another patch panel through a trunk in the Main Distribution Center
