Structured cabling in NYC is a complete telecommunications infrastructure that encompasses all the necessary cabling and associated hardware. The infrastructure is not device dependent; the system can serve a wide range of services including data transmission and telephone service. The entire structured cabling system starts at the point where the service provider terminates; this point is the location of the network interface device or NID.
- No two systems are alike:
Every structured cabling system is unique due to variations in:
- The building structure
- The cable and connectors used
- The equipment the system will support at present and in the future
- An existing system configuration, and
Customer demands
The actual methods that are used to make the installation and service it in the future are quite standard, it is necessary to have standardization because the increasingly complex arrangements demand system performance. These standards have been developed by ANSI, American National Standards Institute and have been adopted by the industry.
Adopting standards have benefits:
When an entire industry adopts a common standard this allows for consistency in design and installation as well as documentation. This allows technicians other than those who did the original installation to completely comfortable in the event they are called in to expand the system in the future or to maintain it.
Structured cabling in NYC will typically include pathways; both vertical and horizontal, the entrance facility, work area terminations, equipment and telecom rooms or closets and more. The system starts at the entrance facility which houses the transition between the service provider cable and cable used in the building. The location of this facility depends very much on the route the outside cable takes, whether it is overhead or underground, the architecture of the structure and the aesthetics.
The backbone:
From the entrance facility the network cabling then branches throughout the building from floor to floor as well as to other buildings in a complex. The backbone cabling is used to interconnect all the equipment rooms and closets and consists of the backbone cable, cross-connects, terminations and jumpers which are used to cross-connect the backbone. In the case of a multi-building complex, inter-building backbone cable handles the traffic between each structure whereas intra-building cabling is used between the closets within a building.
