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

PREMISES CABLING STANDARDS

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 requirements Used by installers for conformance verifications

Work Area

Horizontal Cabling Subsystem

The horizontal cabling is the cabling that connects the Floor Distributor to the Telecommunications Outlet.

Voice Data

: Cat 3, Cat5e, Cat6 : Cat 5e, Cat6, Cat6a, Cat 7 62.5/125 MM (Optional) 50/125 MM (Optional)

The Work Area is the space in a building where the occupants interact with their telecommunications devices. The work area cabling extends from the telecommunications outlet connector end of the horizontal cabling system, to the terminal equipment.

Telecommunications Room

Building Backbone Subsystem

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

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

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

Campus Backbone Subsystem

Equipment Room

The campus backbone cabling subsystem extends from the campus distributor to the building distributor(s), usually located in separate buildings. 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.

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.
