SCS Standard & compliances : 

SCS Standard & compliances Q2:What are the major components of a Structured cabling system? A2:A structured cabling system consists of outlets, which are usually supplied as either one or two RJ45 connectors mounted in a standard single gang faceplate, or as single snap in modules which can be fitted into surface mount boxes or single/double gang faceplates. Each user outlet is connected to a hub using a twisted pair cables, which is named as the 'Horizontal Cabling. The structured cabling system can be either unshielded, known as UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) or shielded, known as STP (Shielded Twisted Pair) , SCTP (Screened Twisted Pair) or FTP (Foiled Twisted Pair). structured cabling system is connected to the back of the user outlet by means of a connector. The maximum length of cable between the hub and any outlet must be 90 meters or less for complying to EIA/TIA and ISO standard. The standards allow a further 10 meters for connecting patch cords, making a total distance of 100 metres or less. At the hub, the 4 pair cables from the user outlets are terminated on patch panel. These patch panel usually have IDC (Insulation Displacement Connection) connectors on the rear for terminating the horizontal cables, and provide an RJ45 presentation on the front for patching. Patch panels are usually mounted in wall mounted or free standing 19 inch racks. RJ45 patch panels usually come with 16, 24, 32, 48 or 96 connectors. The patch panel provides 110 style, 8 pin modular connectors which are rack mounted to allow cables to be neatly punched down. Patch panel and cross connect hardware allow for:¡¡means to connect station cables with jumper cables, ¡¡connection of active equipment to the UTP network, ¡¡identification of circuits for structured cabling system management.¡¡An access point for circuit testing and monitoring, ¡¡An access point for reconnection of the wiring within the network. The hubs are connected together back to the main equipment room using backbone cables, which can either be copper or optical fibre cable. In most structured cabling system, multicore optical cables ( usually 4 - 12 cores ) are used for the data backbone cables and Multipair ( usually 25 , 50 or 100 ) copper cables are used for the voice backbone cables. The equipment racks and cabinets usually also contain active equipment for the data network. Depending on the equipment used, the data channels may be presented in one of two different ways.Each data channel on the equipment may be fitted with an RJ45 connector, so that channels can be patched directly to the patch panels terminating the horizontal cables. Alternatively, the equipment may be fitted with 'Telco'connectors, these are 25 pair connectors each of which carries several (usually 12) data channels. Even though the IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet specification has released and applications group's are turning their attention towards next generation solutions, there is still a great degree of uncertainty as to the capability of today's telecommunications cabling systems to support tomorrow's high bit-rate applications. Fortunately, the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) have made great strides in the specification and clarification of the minimum structured cabling system performance criteria necessary to support these next generation applications.Additional requirements and recommendations for category 5 cable and class D structured cabling system that are intended to supplement the existing TIA/EIA-568-A and category ISO/IEC 11801 class specifications have recently been published. These specifications address additional transmission performance characterization required by structured cabling system developers to support bi-directional and full four-pair transmission schemes (such as those utilized by Gigabit Ethernet). Table 1 identifies these new structured cabling system documents developed by the TIA and ISO technical committees.
