STRUCTURED CABLING SYSTEMS

A structured cabling system is the cabling, devices, and equipment that


integrate the voice, data, video, and electronic management systems of a
building (e.g., safety alarms, security access, energy management and control
systems, and so on). Design and installation of structured cabling systems
adheres to national and international standards.

1. INTERBUILDING BACKBONE
The interbuilding backbone is the
cabling and pathways outside of the
building, including the cables carrying
Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) services
(e.g., outside telephone company),
Internet service provider services, and
Private Branch Exchange (PBX)
telecommunication cable (e.g., private
phone network between buildings at a
school campus or business park).
Simply, the interbuilding backbone
caries telecommunication services to

2. BUILDING ENTRANCE FACILITIES
The building entrance facility is an entrance to the building for both public and
private network service cables. It includes the cables, connecting hardware,
protection devices, and other equipment needed to connect the interbuilding
backbone cabling to the backbone cabling in the building.

3. TELECOMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT ROOM
A telecommunications equipment room is a centralized space for housing main
telecommunications equipment. It is a large, dedicated, centralized room that provides a
controlled environment to house equipment, connecting hardware, splice closures,
grounding and bonding facilities, and protection apparatus. Equipment rooms typically
accommodate equipment of higher complexity than telecommunications closets (see
below); however, any or all of the functions of a telecommunications closet may be
performed in an equipment room.

4. TELECOMMUNICATIONS CLOSET
A telecommunications closet is a dedicated room on each floor in a building that houses
intermediate voice and data telecommunications equipment and related cable connections.
A large building will have several telecommunications closets, and more than one on a floor.
The telecommunications closet should be located in a space that is central to the work areas
it serves.

5. BACKBONE PATHWAY
Within a building telecommunications system, the backbone pathway connects the entrance
facilities/equipment room to the telecommunications closets for cabling that interconnects
equipment and devices in these spaces. It contains several backbone (main) cables that carry
the heaviest telecommunications traffic throughout the building.

6. HORIZONTAL CABLE
Horizontal pathways connect the backbone cabling entering the telecommunications closet
with the terminal equipment in the work area (e.g., computers, data terminals, telephones,
and so on). Horizontal pathways can include underfloor ducts embedded in concrete decks or
slabs, modular/cellular (raised) floors, underground trench ducts, and raceways (e.g.,
conduits, cable trays, recessed molding).

7. WORK AREA
The work area is the space containing workstation (terminal) equipment and
components. The workstation components include equipment and devices (e.g.,
telephones, personal computers, graphic or video terminals, fax machines, modems)
and terminal patch cables (e.g., modular cords, PC adapter cables, fiber jumpers, and
so forth) that connect work area equipment to the network. Work area wiring is
designed to be relatively simple to interconnect so that modifications and additions
can be easily accomplished. The work area can also be served by a wireless access
point.
