Cabling is the activity of planning how to install cables and wiring for electrical and optical systems and the activity of actually installing cables, wiring, patch panels, racks, and other equipment and facilities for routing and managing physical cables, both power cables and information/data cables. This tag can be used for questions as to the design of wiring infrastructure including physical management and electrical environment and safety.
Cabling is the activity of connecting the necessary wires and cables between various pieces of electrical equipment so that the equipment is able to function. In addition to metallic electricity conducting cables there are also fiber light conducting cables, fiber optic cables.
There are many variations of cables and wires that have been developed over the last hundred years for various applications with electrical equipment along with the equipment needed to route and manage the physical cables and wires.
Cable design must consider the kind of electrical signals the cable is being used to transmit from device to device as well as the kinds of connectors provided by the devices being connected.
Cable infrastructure design must consider not only the physical routing of cables through walls and supporting racks but safety of people working with cables as well.
