Premise Wiring is the cabling, connectors and Premise Wiring is made up of vertical and Premise wiring can be found in just about all accessories that are used to connect LAN (Local horizontal cable runs from a central location public and private buildings, including educational Area Network) and phone equipment inside a throughout buildings to individual desktops. and government buildings as well as in many commercial building. newer homes.

Maximum distance for a network equipment. horizontal run is 90m (solid conductor) plus an additional Network Equipment 10m (stranded conductor) for patching. 19" rack or cabinet. 3. Fiber is the common choice for backbone wiring. It is also recommended for horizontal runs over 100m. Approximately 70% of network downtime is due to faulty cables Quality Components are the building blocks of a reliable network This is an example of our competitor's inferior copper Cable clad aluminum cable design. Many low cost telecom / modular cables use copper clad aluminum or copper clad steel. Aluminum and steel have much higher resistance than copper, resulting in increased data loss and low transmission speeds. L-com uses only pure copper conductors on its cables. Additionally, cable jackets can be made with less fireproofing materials than claimed and in some cases the writing on the jacket might state 24 AWG but is actually made from 25 or 26 AWG wire. Connectors Some competitor's connectors use only a gold flash where L-com ensures 50 microinches (1.27µm) or better of gold flash on our connectors. Gold flash on connectors quickly rubs off, especially for patch cables. This can result in a measurably slower network and even dropped connectivity. Gold flash on competitors RJ45 contact has deteriorated, L-com connectors with 50 microinches (1.27µm) of gold degrading connectivity. do not degrade.

    Switched, Fast, and Gigabit Ethernet - CH 3 - Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethern.. Page 1 of 36 [Figures are not included in this sample chapter] Switched, Fast, and Gigabit Ethernet - 3 - Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet Standards This chapter discusses the theory and standards of the three versions of Ethernet around today: regular 10Mbps Ethernet, 100Mbps Fast Ethernet, and 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet. The goal of this chapter is to educate you as a LAN manager or IT professional about essential differences between shared 10Mbps Ethernet and these newer technologies. This chapter focuses on aspects of Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet that are relevant to you and doesn’t get into too much technical detail. Read this chapter and the following two (Chapter 4, "Layer 2 Ethernet Switching," and Chapter 5, "VLANs and Layer 3 Switching") together. This chapter focuses on the different Ethernet MAC and PHY standards, as well as repeaters, also known as hubs. Chapter 4 examines Ethernet bridging, also known as Layer 2 switching. Chapter 5 discusses VLANs, some basics of routing, and Layer 3 switching. These three chapters serve as a precursor to the second half of this book, namely the hands-on implementation in Chapters 8 through 12. After you understand the key differences between yesterday’s shared Ethernet and today’s Switched, Fast, and Gigabit Ethernet, evaluating products and building a network with these products should be relatively straightforward. The chapter is split into seven sections: l "Ethernet and the OSI Reference Model" discusses the OSI Reference Model and how Ethernet relates to the physical (PHY) and Media Access Control (MAC) layers of the OSI model.

    INFORMATION TO USERS Til is reproduction was made from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “ Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure com plete co n tin u ity. 2 . When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. ,V When a map, drawing or chart, etc.. is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of "sectioning" the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps.

  • KNOW the LINGO – WHAT IS Category CABLE?
    KNOW THE LINGO – WHAT IS CategoRY CABLE? By: Joseph D. Cornwall, CTS-D Technology Evangelist—Lastar, Inc. Technical lingo is a kind of shorthand that’s used to express concepts common to that specific topic or area of study. Technical lingo is important because it provides a very precise or unique “shorthand” description of a device, effect or concept. Unfortunately, if you aren’t comfortable and familiar with the lingo of a topic it can be a tall hurdle to communicate efficiently with folks who consider the jargon of their field to be “self-explanatory.” In this series of articles we’ll lift the veils of misunderstanding from the lingo of the A/V industry. WHAT IS A CAT CABLE? The concept of Category cables was first set forth by the Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) and is now maintained by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA). In 1991 the TIA/EIA-568-A standard was released (now revised to TIA/EIA-568-C) in an effort to define standards for telecommunications installations. In particular, the standard worked to define elements of balanced twisted pair cabling, fiber optic cabling and coaxial cabling, along with the associated connectors. The Cat cables discussed here are of the unshielded twisted pair (UTP) variety. You can’t be in the A/V or IT industry and not have heard of Cat5e and Cat6 cables. The Cat, as you might know, is short for “Category.” The term “Category” refers to the different levels of performance in signal bandwidth, attenuation and crosstalk associated with each cable’s design.

  • What Is a Registered Jack? Getting RJ Connector Names Confused
    RJ-45 RJ-45 is one of the more popular standardconnector types used with unshielded, twisted pair network cables. The RJ-45 connector type is commonly used with Ethernet cables and includes eight pins that interface with the cable wires electrically and is sometimes used with shielding cabling. The pin-outs of the connector are defined to provide cable manufacturers the location that wires need to be placed when attaching the cable to a RJ-45 connector type. There are a number of other connector types on the market such as RJ-11used for telephone cable connections, but are more narrowly shaped. What is a Registered Jack? The RJ designation for the RJ-45 cable stands for “registered jack” and indicates that the connection is defined in the international standard for physical network interfaces. The standard defines both the wiring pattern and connecting jack construction for those intended for use in data services or telecommunications equipment. The interfaces defined in the RJ standard include RJ-11, RJ-14, RJ-21, RJ-45, and the RJ-48 connector types. Of the defined connectors, the RJ standard primarily makes use of the 50 pin miniature ribbon and modular connector types depending on the specific RJ type that is defined. Getting RJ Connector Names Confused Since the RJ standard defines both the physical geometry and the required wiring pattern, an inspection of just the connector type will not necessarily indicate the type of wiring pattern used in the cable. This is due to the fact that the same connector can be used for different wiring patterns! As a result, there has been a fair amount of confusion by consumers on what type of cable standard is being used depending on the application.
