Cabeamento estruturado em empresas de tecnologia: boas práticas em projetos de redes de computadores

Abstract

Structured cabling is an essential practice for the success of any computer network project, ensuring an organized and secure infrastructure for data transmission. However, issues in structured cabling best practices can compromise network performance, increase the risk of failures, and compromise data security. The overall aim of this research was to identify structured cabling best practices in computer network projects within technology companies. Specific objectives included investigating technical standards on structured cabling in the technology network literature, selecting current best practices within technology companies, and explaining structured cabling standards with examples of implementation in technology companies. The research methodology, characterized as basic with a qualitative approach, involved methodological procedures such as an integrative literature review. Scientific literature was sought in relevant databases, such as IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, among others, identifying articles and publications relevant to the chosen topic. The procedural sequence involved selecting the most relevant and recent articles on the topic, considering the research objectives and the adopted methodology. Through a critical analysis of available case studies in the literature, it was concluded that adopting structured cabling best practices not only aligns with industry standards but also contributes to the creation of more efficient, secure, and adaptable work environments amid growing technological demands. Emphasis was placed on the need for technology companies to prioritize compliance, training, and effective leadership, providing a solid foundation for structured cabling best practices in accordance with the technical standard NBR 14565:2013.
