Program Overview
Why Structured Cabling Matters
Every connected device in a data center — from servers and storage arrays to network switches and KVM consoles — depends on a properly designed and installed cabling infrastructure. Poorly planned cabling leads to airflow obstruction, difficult troubleshooting, failed audits, and downtime events that could have been prevented.
This 4-day program covers the full lifecycle of structured cabling systems, from site surveys and design documentation to installation techniques, testing, certification, and documentation — all aligned to BICSI, TIA-942, ISO/IEC 11801, and ANSI standards.
You will leave with the skills to design and certify enterprise and data center cabling systems, prepare BICSI RTPM exam-ready, and produce professional documentation that satisfies Tier and compliance auditors.
