Article much appreciated John, especially sections 1-3 that answer the
question long in my mind "what thef' is structured cabling all about?".
But any idea why its called structured? It doesn't seem to have any
structure at all, just a clever method of re-configuring, the price
being that you put in loads of wiring much of which may never be used
(at least concurrently). I always assumed 'structured' implied some kind
of hierarchy. Well, now I know, thank you!

A couple of minor points reading through the rest of it...

How many wires/pairs are there inside a catx cable? Perhaps mention that
catx cable is what you are familiar with connecting your computer to
router/cable modem (so long as its not a USB cable modem).

In "Material (10).." definition of LAU has not yet been given. It's
found much later near the end of the article.
