    Structured Cabling

    A structured cabling system includes all the wiring and hardware that carries data, voice, video, and wireless connections throughout a building. It has six subsystems: 1) the entrance facility where outside cables enter, 2) the equipment room containing switches and servers, 3) telecommunications rooms on each floor connecting to 4) horizontal cabling running to 5) work stations via 6) information outlets. Common network topologies are star, ring and bus, with star being most common and facilitating easy moves and changes. Structured cabling simplifies troubleshooting and supports future applications with little upgrade pain.

    STRUCTURED CABLING

    Introduction
    A structured cabling system is the wiring network that carries all
    your data, voice, multimedia, security,VoIP, PoE, and even wireless
    connections throughout your building or campus. It includes
    everything from the data center to the desktop, including cabling,
    connecting hardware, equipment, telecommunications rooms, cable
    pathways,work areas, and even the jacks on the wallplate in your
    office.

    Technical
    a. Six Subsystems of a Structured Cabling System:

    Diagram 1. Subsystems location


    1. Entrance Facility – the point where the outdoor cable connects
    with the building’s backbone cabling. This is usually the
    demarcation point between the service provider and the
    customerowned systems.
     Terminal Blocks
     Service Entrance Cable (CAT5 multipar/
    Alpet/ Fiber Optic Cable)

    Design considerations:
    2. telecommunications room cross-connects to the
    telecommunications outlets in the work area. It’s called
    horizontal because the cable typically runs horizontally above the
    ceiling or below the floor from the telecommunications room,
    which is usually on the same floor. Note: maximum horizontal
    cable distance up to 100 meters including patch cords.
     CAT5/CAT6

    3. Work Station – consists of all the components between the


    telecommunications outlet and the user’s workstation
    equipment.
     Information Outlet (I/O)/ Faceplate
     Patch cord

    b. Network Topology
    There are three basic network topologies: star, ring, and
    bus.

    1. Star.
    The star network features individual point-to-point cable
    runs radiating from a central equipment room, which can house
    a PBX in voice networks or switches in data networks. The
    advantage of a star network is that you can connect and
    disconnect equipment without disrupting the rest of the network.
    The star network facilitates smooth moves, adds, and changes.
    10BASE-T and later versions of Ethernet use a star topology.

    The TIA/EIA makes a few design recommendations for star


    topologies.
    • There shall be no more than two hierarchical levels of
    backbone cross-connects.
    • Bridged taps and splices shall not be installed.
    • Proximity to sources of EMI shall be taken into account.
    2. Bus.
    A bus topology consists of one continuous cable, commonly
    called the backbone cable. Devices are connected along that
    cable, and information travels in a linear fashion along the entire
    length of the bus. Devices can be removed from the bus without
    disrupting the entire network. The original Ethernet topology was
    a bus.

    c. Cable standards
    a. Simplify troubleshooting – with structured cabling systems, problems
    are less likely to down to entire network, easier to isolate and easier to
    fix

    b. Support for future applications – structured cabling system supports


    future applications like multimedia, video conferencing, etc. with little
    or no upgrade pain.
