Structured Cabling Systems Standards

The video tutorial by Sunny introduces structured cabling, focusing on its standards and components. It covers the TIA/EIA-568 standard and explains the three basic components of a star network: telecommunications room, horizontal cabling, and work area. The telecommunications room serves as the network hub, while horizontal cabling connects it to work areas. The video also discusses cabling specifications, including length limits and types of cables used. The tutorial concludes with a summary and a preview of future topics on network components.
