Structure Cabling Solutions have matured to such an extent that the solution providers are almost down to the margins of electrical contractors. The Information Outlets, Patch Panels, Patch Cords and Cables though essential do not distinguish one solution from others. The presentation outlines peripheral components of SCS which can be used to not just drive up margins but also distinguish one solution provider from another all this while providing the customer a better and more aesthetic solution. IPLMS, Customized co-branded bezels, High Density components is the way to go. Easier to manage and debug, better to look at, easier to install and actually more economical in the long run.

Why?
ā¢ Structure Cabling Solutions have matured to such an extent
that the solution providers are almost down to the margins of
electrical contractors. The Information Outlets, Patch Panels,
Patch Cords and Cables though essential do not distinguish
one solution from others. The presentation outlines
peripheral components of SCS which can be used to not just
drive up margins but also distinguish one solution provider
from another all this while providing the customer a better
and more aesthetic solution. IPLMS, Customized co-branded
bezels, High Density components is the way to go. Easier to
manage and debug, better to look at, easier to install and
actually more economical in the long run.
