Internal telecommunications cabling meeting Category 5, 5e, or 6 standards and fitted with modular sockets.

Structured cabling refers to an internal telecommunication cable infrastructure that meets international standards for Category 5/5e or Category 6 cabling, along with modular sockets.

The feature combines standardized telecommunications cables with modular connection points inside the structure. The cabling category and modular sockets together distinguish it from unspecified telecommunications wiring.

A wireless connection alone does not provide this cable infrastructure. Electrical power wiring also has a different function from the telecommunications cabling identified here.
