What is cabling?

Cabling refers to the physical infrastructure used to transmit data, voice, and video signals in networks. It includes various types of cables, such as coaxial, twisted pair (e.g., Ethernet cables), and fiber optic cables, each offering different bandwidth and distance capabilities. Cabling is essential for connecting devices within a network (LAN) and connecting networks together (WAN). Proper cabling installation and management are crucial for network performance and reliability.
