What This Chapter Is About
This chapter is divided into two parts related to cable types and cabling topologies. Important network cabling concepts are reviewed, such as:
Which type of cables to use,
The use of cabinets for your cable infrastructure,
The type of network cable layout to use in your company (topology), and
High-availability concepts for increased network uptime.
If you already have an IP-enabled, state-of-the-art cable infrastructure in place throughout your business, consider at least reviewing this chapter from a high-availability perspective.
