With a correctly installed system, current and future requirements can be met, and hardware that is added in the future will be supported.\r\nStructured cabling design and installation is governed by a set of standards that specify wiring data centers, offices, and apartment buildings for data or voice communications using various kinds of cable, most commonly category 5e (Cat 5e), category 6 (Cat 6), and fiber optic cabling and modular connectors. These standards define how to lay the cabling in various topologies in order to meet the needs of the customer, typically using a central patch panel (which is normally 19-inch rack-mounted), from where each modular connection can be used as needed.

Voice patches to PBXs in most countries require an adapter at the remote end to translate the configuration on 8P8C modular connectors into the local standard telephone wall socket. No adapter is needed in North America as the 6P2C and 6P4C plugs most commonly used with RJ11 and RJ14 telephone connections are physically and electrically compatible with the larger 8P8C socket.

However, due to greater power dissipation in Cat 5e cable, performance and power efficiency are higher when Cat 6A cabling is used to power and connect to PoE devices.","materialsDescription":" <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What is structured cabling?</span>\r\nStructured cabling is the highway that information travels on in a building. The building can be large or small, commercial or residential, or a combination of both as in the mixed-use retail, commercial, and residential buildings now found in most large cities. Structured cabling systems are designed around telecommunications code standards to ensure that computer equipment will operate as designed when connected to the structured cabling system. Some of these factors include distance limitations, cable types, flammability ratings, and bend radii.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Cat5/Cat6 what’s the difference?</span>\r\nThe general difference between Cat5e cabling and Cat6 cabling is in the transmission performance and extension of the available bandwidth from 100 MHz for category 5e to 250 MHz for category 6. This includes better insertion loss, near-end crosstalk (NEXT), return loss, and equal level far-end crosstalk (ELFEXT). These improvements provide a higher signal to noise ratio, allowing higher reliability for current applications and higher data rates for future applications.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Do I need Plenum or PVC?</span>\r\nPlenum cable is designed to operate in a “return air” space in the building. Typically these spaces are above a suspended ceiling or beneath a raised floor. They are said to be a “return air” space because that is where the HVAC system gets the air to the heat or cool. If ever in question, the building inspector is typically the AHJ (authority having jurisdiction). Plenum cable is more expensive than PVC because of the less flammable compounds used in production. A plenum cable must pass a burn test that measures flame spread and smoke emissivity when exposed to the flame of a certain intensity and duration.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Do I need 1 or 2 cables per work area?</span>\r\nThis decision is a commonly debated topic. The fact is that the cable is very inexpensive relative to the entire telecommunications system and the building that it serves. The increased functionality and bandwidth that one additional data cable can provide at each work area outlet can prove to be priceless, especially after the drywall is in place.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Do I need a cabinet, can’t I just plug straight into my equipment?</span>\r\nA cabinet is always recommended even for the smallest installs. Cabling plugged directly into equipment has a tendency to break away at the termination ends as the solid cable is not suitable for direct termination. Also, a cabinet provides protection for the equipment from theft, breakage, dust, and employees. Cabinets also allow all the equipment to be stored together and in a manageable way for moves and changes.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Why do I need such a big cabinet?</span>\r\nThe cabinet should be large enough to house the current equipment with some space for possible future requirements. I.e. for a VOIP telephone system to be housed. The depth of the cabinet should keep in mind what is to be stored in the cabinet. Some ISP switches and blade servers are extra deep and required an 800/1000mm deep cabinet.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What do Data cable installation test results show?</span>\r\nTest Results show a range of tests depending on the grade of cabling used (Cat5e/Cat6 etc.). These tests for Cat6 include Wire Map, Length, Insertion Loss, NEXT Loss, PS NEXT Loss, ACRF Loss, PS ACRF Loss, Return Loss, Propagation Delay, and Delay Skew. These are tests to ensure installation standards have been met, the terminations have been done correctly and that the cable doesn’t have any unnecessary bends, kinks, and twists.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What should the end deliverable be for a structured cabling system?</span>\r\nWhen properly designed and installed, the end deliverable should be a structured cabling system that supports the customer’s needs now and well into the foreseeable future. The Main Distribution Frames and Intermediate Distribution Frames should be well thought out, and cables should be neatly dressed. It should have additional cable runs that support a wireless overlay and have sufficient bandwidth in the backbone to handle a step-change in bandwidth needs. For the last 20 years, clients have utilized more bandwidth in the current year than the year preceding it. Nobody ever says “we put in too much cable.”","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Structuring_Cabling.png","alias":"structuring-cabling"}},"branches":"Information Technology","companySizes":"More than 2000 Employees","companyUrl":"http://www.3m.com/","countryCodes":["BRA","MEX","POL","SGP","TUR","USA"],"certifications":[],"isSeller":true,"isSupplier":false,"isVendor":true,"presenterCodeLng":"","seo":{"title":"3M","keywords":"products, than, more, including, films, companies, with, countries","description":"The 3M Company, formerly known as the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company (1902–2002), is an American multinational conglomerate corporation based in Maplewood, Minnesota, a suburb of St. Paul.\r\n\r\nWith $30 billion in annual sales, 3M employs 88,000 peop","og:title":"3M","og:description":"The 3M Company, formerly known as the Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company (1902–2002), is an American multinational conglomerate corporation based in Maplewood, Minnesota, a suburb of St. Paul.\r\n\r\nWith $30 billion in annual sales, 3M employs 88,000 peop","og:image":"https://old.roi4cio.com/uploads/roi/company/3M.png"},"eventUrl":"","vendorPartners":[],"supplierPartners":[{"supplier":"ERC (Electronic Resource Company)","partnershipLevel":"Distributor","countries":"Ukraine","partnersType":""},{"supplier":"ASWGroup","partnershipLevel":"Distributor","countries":"Republic of Kazakhstan","partnersType":""}],"vendoredProducts":[{"id":168,"logoURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/cat5e-patch-cable_white_J.jpg","logo":true,"scheme":false,"title":"Volition","vendorVerified":0,"rating":"2.00","implementationsCount":0,"suppliersCount":0,"supplierPartnersCount":2,"alias":"volition","companyTitle":"3M","companyTypes":["vendor"],"companyId":997,"companyAlias":"3m","description":"Volition ™ system is a complex solution for copper and fiber networks.

The building can be large or small, commercial or residential, or a combination of both as in the mixed-use retail, commercial, and residential buildings now found in most large cities. Structured cabling systems are designed around telecommunications code standards to ensure that computer equipment will operate as designed when connected to the structured cabling system. Some of these factors include distance limitations, cable types, flammability ratings, and bend radii.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Cat5/Cat6 what’s the difference?</span>\r\nThe general difference between Cat5e cabling and Cat6 cabling is in the transmission performance and extension of the available bandwidth from 100 MHz for category 5e to 250 MHz for category 6. This includes better insertion loss, near-end crosstalk (NEXT), return loss, and equal level far-end crosstalk (ELFEXT). These improvements provide a higher signal to noise ratio, allowing higher reliability for current applications and higher data rates for future applications.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Do I need Plenum or PVC?</span>\r\nPlenum cable is designed to operate in a “return air” space in the building. Typically these spaces are above a suspended ceiling or beneath a raised floor. They are said to be a “return air” space because that is where the HVAC system gets the air to the heat or cool. If ever in question, the building inspector is typically the AHJ (authority having jurisdiction). Plenum cable is more expensive than PVC because of the less flammable compounds used in production. A plenum cable must pass a burn test that measures flame spread and smoke emissivity when exposed to the flame of a certain intensity and duration.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Do I need 1 or 2 cables per work area?</span>\r\nThis decision is a commonly debated topic. The fact is that the cable is very inexpensive relative to the entire telecommunications system and the building that it serves. The increased functionality and bandwidth that one additional data cable can provide at each work area outlet can prove to be priceless, especially after the drywall is in place.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Do I need a cabinet, can’t I just plug straight into my equipment?</span>\r\nA cabinet is always recommended even for the smallest installs. Cabling plugged directly into equipment has a tendency to break away at the termination ends as the solid cable is not suitable for direct termination. Also, a cabinet provides protection for the equipment from theft, breakage, dust, and employees. Cabinets also allow all the equipment to be stored together and in a manageable way for moves and changes.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Why do I need such a big cabinet?</span>\r\nThe cabinet should be large enough to house the current equipment with some space for possible future requirements. I.e. for a VOIP telephone system to be housed. The depth of the cabinet should keep in mind what is to be stored in the cabinet. Some ISP switches and blade servers are extra deep and required an 800/1000mm deep cabinet.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What do Data cable installation test results show?</span>\r\nTest Results show a range of tests depending on the grade of cabling used (Cat5e/Cat6 etc.). These tests for Cat6 include Wire Map, Length, Insertion Loss, NEXT Loss, PS NEXT Loss, ACRF Loss, PS ACRF Loss, Return Loss, Propagation Delay, and Delay Skew. These are tests to ensure installation standards have been met, the terminations have been done correctly and that the cable doesn’t have any unnecessary bends, kinks, and twists.\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">What should the end deliverable be for a structured cabling system?</span>\r\nWhen properly designed and installed, the end deliverable should be a structured cabling system that supports the customer’s needs now and well into the foreseeable future. The Main Distribution Frames and Intermediate Distribution Frames should be well thought out, and cables should be neatly dressed. It should have additional cable runs that support a wireless overlay and have sufficient bandwidth in the backbone to handle a step-change in bandwidth needs. For the last 20 years, clients have utilized more bandwidth in the current year than the year preceding it. Nobody ever says “we put in too much cable.”","iconURL":"https://old.roi4cio.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Structuring_Cabling.png"}],"characteristics":[],"concurentProducts":[],"jobRoles":[],"organizationalFeatures":[],"complementaryCategories":[],"solutions":[],"materials":[],"useCases":[],"best_practices":[],"values":[],"implementations":[]}],"suppliedProducts":[],"partnershipProgramme":{"levels":[{"id":170,"level":"Authorized partner"},{"id":171,"level":"Distributor"}],"partnerDiscounts":{"Authorized partner":"","Distributor":""},"registeredDiscounts":{"Authorized partner":"","Distributor":""},"additionalBenefits":[],"salesPlan":{"Authorized partner":"","Distributor":""},"additionalRequirements":[]}}},"aliases":{},"links":{},"meta":{},"loading":false,"error":null},"implementations":{"implementationsByAlias":{},"aliases":{},"links":{},"meta":{},"loading":false,"error":null},"agreements":{"agreementById":{},"ids":{},"links":{},"meta":{},"loading":false,"error":null},"comparison":{"loading":false,"error":false,"templatesById":{},"comparisonByTemplateId":{},"products":[],"selectedTemplateId":null},"presentation":{"type":null,"company":{},"products":[],"partners":[],"formData":{},"dataLoading":false,"dataError":false,"loading":false,"error":false},"catalogsGlobal":{"subMenuItemTitle":""}}
