What is Information Technology — Generic Cabling for
Customer Premises Certification?
Information
Technology — Generic Cabling for Customer Premises refers to internationally recognized standards that specify
requirements for structured cabling systems used within commercial buildings
and customer premises.
The globally recognized standard is ISO/IEC
11801, which defines generic cabling architecture supporting a wide variety
of ICT services including:
- Voice communication
- Data transmission
- Internet connectivity
- Building automation
- CCTV
- Access control
- Wireless networking
- Industrial automation
- Smart buildings
- Data centres
Rather than creating isolated
cabling systems for different technologies, ISO/IEC 11801 promotes a unified
structured cabling system capable of supporting current and future
applications.
The standard enables organizations
to install infrastructure that remains usable even as networking technologies
evolve.
