Why the Flap Barrier Turnstile is the Future of Access Control
December 23, 2025The Hidden Power: Unifying Your CCTV, Fire, and Data Systems
Look up in any modern office or factory. You see IP cameras, Wi-Fi access points, digital signage, and biometric readers. What you don’t see is the mess of wires connecting them. In many buildings, this results in a chaotic “spaghetti mess”—unlabelled, unmanaged cables that are a headache to maintain and a major cause of network failures.
At Cyber Info Electronics Security System PVT. LTD., we know that a building’s intelligence is only as good as its nervous system. That nervous system is Structured Cabling. As a comprehensive ELV System Integrator, we don’t just run wires; we design a unified, standardized framework that supports every piece of technology you own—from your CCTV to your Public Address Solution.

What Makes Cabling “Structured”?
Structured Cabling is a methodical, standardized approach to telecommunications wiring within a building or campus. It replaces the messy, point-to-point wiring (where every device has its own dedicated, long cable run) with a cohesive, hierarchical system.
Think of it like this:
- Traditional Cabling: A complicated, overgrown jungle where tracing a single fault is a half-day job.
- Structured Cabling: A well-planned, clearly labeled highway system where every road connects logically to a central hub (the patch panel).
This standardization is critical because all your ELV systems—data, voice, video, security, and fire alarms—now travel over the same network highway, typically using certified Category 6A (Cat 6A) copper or Fiber Optic cabling.

The 5 Massive Benefits of Using Structured Cabling Solutions for ELV
1. Future-Proofing and Scalability
Today, you have 50 employees and 20 CCTV cameras. Next year? You might double both. Traditional cabling can’t handle a surge in demand.
- The Cyber Info Advantage: We design your system with massive capacity headroom. A well-installed Cat 6A or fiber backbone supports speeds of 10 Gigabits per second (10 Gbps). This means your infrastructure can easily support next-generation Wi-Fi (like Wi-Fi 7), higher-resolution 4K IP cameras, and advanced video conferencing for the next 15-20 years without needing a costly re-cabling overhaul.
2. Eliminating Costly Downtime (Real Stats)
Network downtime is a massive drain on productivity and revenue. An industry study found that cable-related issues are responsible for a significant portion of all network outages.
- The Structured Solution: Since every cable run is neatly organized, labeled, and terminates at a central patch panel, troubleshooting is lightning-fast. Instead of tracing a bad camera connection through a ceiling, a technician can isolate the faulty line in the data rack in under 5 minutes. This drastically reduces network downtime, keeping your business operations smooth.
3. Simplified Management and Maintenance
Your IT or security team shouldn’t need a map to find a connection.
- Organization: Structured cabling follows strict international standards (ANSI/TIA-568 and ISO/IEC 11801). These standards dictate color-coding, maximum cable length (90 meters for horizontal runs), and meticulous labeling. This uniformity makes moves, adds, and changes incredibly easy and minimizes human error.
4. High Reliability and Consistent Performance
When your Fire Alarm System sends a crucial signal, or your BMS Solution needs to open a smoke damper, you cannot have packet loss or signal degradation.
- Performance Guarantee: Using certified, high-quality components ensures consistent signal integrity. This reliability is vital for latency-sensitive applications like Voice over IP (VoIP), high-definition video surveillance, and real-time control systems.
5. Seamless Integration Across All ELV Systems
This is where Cyber Info Electronics Security System PVT. LTD. shines as a system integrator.
- A single, unified cabling infrastructure allows your Audio Video solution, CCTV, Access Control, and Networking to share resources efficiently and communicate flawlessly, which is the definition of a truly smart building.

Case Study: From Chaos to Control in a Manufacturing Unit
We took over a project for a large manufacturing plant where the old cabling was a nightmare. Every new machine had resulted in a new cable run, creating an unmanageable mess that was also a fire hazard.
- The Challenge: Multiple system failures daily, slow data transmission from PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), and zero traceability for security cameras.
- Our Solution: We installed a comprehensive Structured Cabling Solution (Cat 6A copper and Fiber Optic backbone) across three floors, implementing organized Telecommunications Rooms (TRs) on each level. We consolidated all ELV systems onto this single, standardized network.
- The Result: Network downtime fell by an estimated 85%. The maintenance team could diagnose and fix any connectivity issue—from a faulty fire sensor to a disconnected IP phone—in minutes, simply by referencing the clear labelling. This allowed the client to implement advanced, data-heavy automation without worrying about their network infrastructure.
Voice Search Optimized: Your Cabling Questions Answered
“What type of cable should I use for a new office?” For most modern commercial offices, we strongly recommend Category 6A (Cat 6A) cabling. It provides the 10 Gigabit speed required for high-bandwidth applications like video conferencing and high-density Wi-Fi, offering the best cost-to-performance ratio for long-term use.
“What is the difference between horizontal and backbone cabling?” The horizontal cabling is the cable that runs from the floor’s Telecommunications Room (TR) directly to the wall outlet (where you plug in your computer or CCTV camera). The backbone cabling is the heavy-duty cable, often Fiber Optic, that runs vertically between the TRs on different floors and the main Equipment Room.
“Will structured cabling save me money?” Yes, absolutely. While the initial investment is higher than chaotic wiring, structured cabling saves significant money over the system’s lifespan (up to 20 years). It drastically lowers costs related to downtime, troubleshooting, maintenance labour, and future upgrades because you don’t need to re-cable when you move or add technology.
Cyber Info Electronics Security System PVT. LTD. specializes in building the complete, intelligent foundation for your business. From the choice of Cat 6A components to the final testing and certification, we deliver a reliable, organized, and high-performance network that empowers all your ELV systems.
