Generic cabling is a modular, highly flexible information transmission channel within buildings or between buildings. The generic cabling product can connect voice equipment, data equipment, switching equipment and various control equipment with the information management system, and also connect these equipment with the external communication network. The generic cabling products also include all cables and related connecting parts between the connection points of the external network or telecommunication lines of the building and the application system equipment. Generic cabling products are composed of components of different series and specifications, including transmission media, related connection hardware (such as distribution frame, jumper frame, connector, socket, plug, adapter), electrical protection equipment, etc. These components can be used to build various subsystems, and they have their own specific purposes. They are not only easy to implement, but also can be upgraded smoothly with changes in requirements.

Advantages of generic cabling:

Compared with the previous cabling, the characteristics of generic cabling can be summarized as follows:

Practicability: After implementation, the cabling system will be able to adapt to the development of modern and future communication technologies, and realize the unified transmission of voice, data communication and other signals.

Flexibility: The wiring system can meet the requirements of various applications, that is, any information point can connect different types of terminal equipment, such as telephone, computer, printer, computer terminal, fax machine, various sensors and image monitoring equipment.

Modularization: Except for the horizontal cables fixed in the building, all the connectors in the generic cabling system are basic standard components, which can interconnect all voice, data, image, network and building automation equipment, so as to facilitate use, relocation, change, expansion and management.

Expandability: the generic cabling system is expandable, so that new equipment can be easily expanded in the future when it has greater use.

Economy: The use of generic cabling system can reduce the number of management personnel. At the same time, because of the modular structure, the difficulty of work greatly reduces the cost of changing or relocating the system in the future.

Universality: It can adapt to various computers and network topologies that meet international communication standards, and can adapt to communication requirements of different transmission speeds, and can support and accommodate the operation of various computer networks.
