PREMISES CABLING STANDARDS

Structured Cabling Systems (SCS) Definition

SCS can be perceived as the pillars and columns of the

organizations IT network.

What is a Structured Cabling System?

SCS is a collective configuration of cabling and associated

hardware on a premises which, when installed, provides a

comprehensive telecommunications infrastructure.

It functions as an important foundation of the IT network on

which many services are supported, including:

Data information transfer

Voice telecommunications

Building Automation & Control System

Monitoring and Surveillance System

Environment Management System

Why standards?

One of the most significant contributors to simplifying the design of a reliable network

is through standards.

Adherence to standards provide a framework that ensure the support of present,

foreseen, and perhaps unforseen applications, and to allow interoperability of

components from multiple manufacturers that make up a structured cabling system.

Standards provides the basis for a sensible roadmap that has been the foundation of

the structured cabling industry for the past 20 years, and the cumulative result of these

activities has contributed to the industrys ability to adapt to ever increasing bandwidth

demand.

The cabling infrastructure market have had the most success of using standards as a

tool.

Used by end-users and consultants to specify minimum requirementsUsed by installers for conformance verifications

Work Area

The Work Area is the space in a building where the occupants interact with theirtelecommunications devices.

The work area cabling extends from the telecommunications outlet connector end of thehorizontal cabling system, to the terminal equipment.

Data : Cat 5e, Cat6, Cat6a, Cat 7

Horizontal Cabling Subsystem

The horizontal cabling is the cabling that connects the Floor Distributor to the

Telecommunications Outlet.

Telecommunications Room

A TR is an enclosed space that provide all the facilities (electrical power, grounding and bonding,environmental control etc.) for passive components, active devices, a nd external network interfaces housedwithin it.

Each TR should have direct access to the backbone cabling subsystem and contain the floor distributor. If a TR serves more than one building distributor it should be considered an equipment room.

Building Backbone Subsystem

This includes: Vertical connection between floors (risers) Horizontal connection within the same floor Cables between an equipment room and building cable entrance facilities Shall not containg consolidation points

A building backbone cabling subsystem extendsfrom building distributor(s) to the floor distributor(s).


7/8

The campus backbone cabling subsystem

extends from the campus distributor to the

building distributor(s), usually located in

separate buildings.

Campus Backbone Subsystem

An Equipment Room (ER) is a large Telecommunications Room (TR) It is a geographical area that may contain the campus distributor and/or building distributor and/or floor

distributor.

Equipment Room

Building Entrance Facilities

Required whenever campus backbone, public and private network cables (including from

antenna) enter buildings and a transition is made to internal cables.

Entrance facilities include the pathways for outside carrier services, campus backbone, and

antennae entrance pathways.

The entrance facilities consist of a termination field interfacing any outside cabling to the

building backbone cabling.
