The design of cabling systems for voice communications has not changed radically in the past twenty years. Bringing a phone line to a user's desk is a simple and well understood task. However, changes in business applications require the integration of voice applications with support for data, graphics, digital network connections of integrated services and other services on a single standardized cabling system. We are starting to see the beginnings of this new era of unified multimedia in the telecommunications sector. For example, the asynchronous transfer mode knocks on the door, promising to combine voice, high-speed data, video and imaging applications into a single high-performance network infrastructure.

Unlike voice systems, data communication cabling systems underwent many changes during the same period. Data network cabling evolved from the proprietary solutions of the 70s, with shielded twisted pair cables and coaxial cables, to the increase in structured cabling systems compliant with standards at the end of the 80s, when the unshielded twisted pair o UTP and optical fiber prevail over the cable. In addition, data communications are no longer limited to a specific department or even a single company. The exchange of information is essentially borderless.
