In-house cabling
Cabling is the IT investment with the longest life time
Structured cabling
- One or several wiring closets on every floor
- Enough space for routers and switches
- Enough fiber in the backbone cabling between them
- Cross connections for fibre and copper in the closets
- UTP cat. 5 (currently, in the future probably something else) cabling from the closets to the outlets (max. 90 m)
- RJ-45 connectors, 4 per office desk
- Adequate power outlets to the closets and office rooms
=> A network that can adapt to changing needs:
Data and telephony in the same network
Traditional LANs: Ethernet, Token Ring etc.
Fast LANs: 100 Mb/s - 1 Gb/s Ethernet
