Structured Cabling System

Back in the old days of networking newbie, I didn't even care about networking. What's so interesting about it. Just a bunch of cables connected from the computers to switches or routers/modems voila you get internet.Few years later, come to my notice that networking is far far more interesting than I had imagined.
