What is Data Center Cabling

With the complexities of today’s data centre, cabling structured is one of the most integral advances in data network design. Furthermore,  in order to achieve current and future data transmission performance requirement, a proper cabling structure plan laid out allows the data centre to be prepared for the changes and system iterations they’re sure to face in the next one to two decades.

Note: Data Center Cabling can be excused in the following forms

  • Passive Cabling
  • Active Cabling
  • Copper Cabling
  • Fibre Cabling

Passive cabling provides a direct electrical connection between corresponding cable ends. Active cables provide the same effect but, by embedding optics and/or electronics within the connectors, can overcome some of the limitations of passive cables. While passive cables are always copper-based, active cables can use either copper wire or fibre optics to provide the link between the cable ends. We shall explain the data centre cabling forms in the recently updated blog.
