During the implementation of a structured cabling project, whether in the design or installation phase, it is necessary to clearly establish the symbols and documentation to be used. The TIA-606-A standard recommends symbols that should be used in plans and diagrams. The use of these symbols will facilitate the exchange of information […]
Slack is the space that must be left when installing structured cabling. For example, in the case of horizontal cabling, it is recommended to leave a 3-meter slack in the telecommunications room (copper or fiber optic), and a 0.30-meter slack in the work area.
In August of this year, the ANSI/TIA-1179 standard for structured cabling infrastructure in the healthcare industry (clinics, hospitals, etc.) was ratified. An article published in the specialized magazine Cabling Installation & Maintenance in early December 2010 outlines some important details for those involved in the installation of such cabling.
The Rack Unit is the way in which the Structured Cabling Rack is subdivided, allowing us to properly size the capacities of the components to be installed. One Rack Unit is equivalent to 1.75 inches. It is known by different names: U, UR, RU, UH, HU.
During project development or in my daily work, I encounter a number of questions from people unfamiliar with structured cabling. Recognizing this need, I've decided to supplement this blog with brief but informative posts on topics I believe will be of general interest.
When implementing IT infrastructure, the goal is that once installed, we no longer have to worry about it, which is not a simple matter; in fact, it's a crucial issue, given that we must pay special attention to the equipment so that it is capable of supporting the
I'm sharing with you a presentation I gave at the Laser Society Program of the College of Engineers of Peru, Lima Chapter, about structured cabling considerations in buildings. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flt__RG1SHA]
