Horizontal Wiring

Horizontal Wiring is the wiring scheme that encompasses all cables from a work-area wallplate or network connection to the telecommunications closet. The outlets, cable, and cross-connects in the closet are all part of the horizontal wiring, which gets its name because the cable typically runs horizontally above ceilings or along the floors.
