As there is no indication as to what sections of the article fail to represent a Worldwide View, I'm deleting the notice. If you feel differently, please re-add it, and make some notation on the talk page Zero sharp 00:12, 8 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

I've popped it back in. I can see two problems - (a) use of PABX without reference to the alternative PBX, and (b) the assumption that voice requires a BT adapter - true in the UK, Hong Kong and NZ perhaps, but probably not eleswhere --Snori 02:45, 31 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
I don't know what you mean about PABXs; from what I've read in the PBX article, PABX is not a regional- or country-specific term. I do see your point about the BT adapter; in the U.S. no adapter is needed, since you can plug a standard telephone cable (crimped with an RJ11 jack on the end) into an RJ45 socket. In many new installations these days installers will use one type wall socket plate, with RJ45 compatible sockets. The only difference between voice and data sockets (from the user's point of view) would be some sort of color coding scheme and/or an icon or a label on the plate itself. — EagleOne\Talk 03:19, 1 September 2006 (UTC

What about Cat 7 and Cat 8?

edit

Seems like these sections need to be added. What's the right process? Create red links? Stubs? I'm aware these categories of cable are (nearly?) standardized, but not sure where. I'm not qualified to write these articles, but just about able to read them :-) Curtbeckmann (talk) 22:59, 16 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

There are links to all cabling standards in {{UTP cables}} at the bottom of the article. ~Kvng (talk) 15:23, 7 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Plagiarism ?

edit

Possible plagiarism of/from the website added by an anonymous contribution (IP 24.43.119.2, only contribution on this article the 23 january 2013). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.206.212.98 (talk) 13:22, 1 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

We do have a match with http://structuredcabling.com/what-is-structured-cabling-2/ but it appears looking at archive.org history vs. Wikipedia revision history, it is clear that source has copied Wikipedia and not the other way around. ~Kvng (talk) 15:23, 7 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Merge proposal

edit

I propose merging Backbone cabling and Horizontal cross-connect into this article. I see no benefit to having stand-alone articles on these topics. ~Kvng (talk) 15:57, 6 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

I agree, they are components of a structured cabling system and the current articles are not much more than a glossary of structured cabling terms/components. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.35.82.174 (talk) 23:31, 3 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Done. Seemed pretty uncontroversial and minimal content. Triptothecottage (talk) 11:50, 21 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
Thank you Triptothecottage. Nice work. ~Kvng (talk) 15:18, 26 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
