Cable Infrastructure Upgrades

by

ITSS is in the process of upgrading the cabling infrastructure in various locations on campus. The goal of the upgrade is to ensure all known cabling is a grade of at least Category 5. Any currently installed cabling used for data transmission which is less than Category 5, is being replaced using Category 6 grade cable. All known station cabling has been replaced and we are now working on ensuring cable distribution and management in the communications rooms conforms to Category 6 specifications. If any sub Category 5 cabling is discovered, as long as we have funding, the cable will be upgraded.
