A structured cabling architecture shows point to point cabling runs that are designed to distribute the communication network with built-in expansion capabilities and in many instances, away from factory hazards. Notice here, how each cable is restricted to a given area. This saves on costs by not having to purchase cable that is capable of traversing all environmental conditions. Therefore, depending on the cable run, the design can include commercial or industrial grade components based on the highest M.I.C.E. severity level presence in the run or areas. Horizontal network infrastructure cables are found over-head in pathways or on J hooks. Due to the distances (generally these cable runs are over 100 meters in length) fiber cables and connectors are used. These cable runs are subjected to the M.I.C.E. requirements of the area where the cables are routed. Vertical cables are used to connect the edge devices to the network infrastructure, and they are generally copper, (edge devices include machines and switches). These cables, connectors, are exposed readily to the environments present and the M.I.C.E. classification/compliance is more critical and should be considered at the point of use. To note, highest M.I.C.E. rated classifications are recommended for the edge connection points.
