Taking on a myth about IP convergence and cabling

In his latest blog post, CommScope Enterprise Solutions' director of channel development and training James Donovan addresses what he calls "a myth in the infrastucture market" concerning IP convergence and structured cabling.

The myth, he says, is that one of IP convergence's prime benefits is the need for less cabling. The post encourages network managers to focus on convergence's other benefits because the "fewer cables" mantra could leave them short of the infrastructure support their networks will need.

"IP applications mean a 'single type of cable,' but not necessarily a 'single cable,'" Donovan advises.
