Structured cabling is the foundation of campus network implementation, a powerful supporting environment for current and future computer networks and communication systems, and a crucial component of campus network construction. Campus network construction requires the cabling system to provide services and transmission capabilities that meet the needs of multimedia applications such as data, images, audio, and video, and to facilitate communication with computers nationwide and worldwide through various means, including interfaces provided by telecommunications operators or the Internet.

Campus network structured cabling needs to adapt to the rapid development of future network and communication technologies, possessing a high degree of openness and providing a highly efficient, standardized, and open foundational platform for smart campus networks. The design of the campus network integrated cabling system follows these principles:

Compatibility: This is the primary characteristic of a structured cabling system. Compatibility refers to the performance of its equipment in various systems. Because structured cabling interfaces adopt a standardized design, they can support equipment from different manufacturers and of different types.

Openness: The structured cabling system uses an open architecture, conforming to internationally popular standards.

Scalability: The design must consider the system's scalability to avoid unnecessary equipment waste during future upgrades.

Reliability: High-quality materials and composite crimping methods are used to construct a high-standard information channel. All components are ISO certified, and each information channel undergoes rigorous testing using specialized instruments to verify electrical performance such as line impedance, attenuation rate, and crosstalk, ensuring transmission quality.

Copper cable is selected as the transmission medium for horizontal links in the campus network's structured cabling. Based on desktop application requirements, current campus network cabling systems generally offer the following solutions:

1. Category 5e Copper Cable Solution: This solution offers 100MHz bandwidth, meeting the needs of gigabit Ethernet applications and ensuring smooth upgrades from existing 10Mbps or 100Mbps Ethernet to gigabit Ethernet without requiring any modifications to the overall cabling system.

2. Category 6 Copper Cable Solution: This solution provides 250MHz bandwidth, offering greater performance headroom and compatibility with 10/100/1000 Ethernet applications. The Category 6 solution is recommended to meet future network application needs.

3. Given the high population density on campus, low-smoke halogen-free flame-retardant sheathed cables are recommended. Low-smoke halogen-free cables do not release toxic gases or produce large amounts of dense smoke when burning, ensuring safety.
