Desk and device connections
Copper runs connect everyday devices to the network. Outlet quantities and positions should reflect desk layouts, phones, printers, meeting-room equipment and access points. Cable category selection also needs to account for the intended applications, run lengths and the equipment connected at each end.
Fibre between equipment areas
Fibre links form part of the connection between cabinets, floors or buildings. EDISON covers single-mode and multi-mode fibre, indoor and outdoor runs, and fusion splicing. The route, distance, termination points and compatible equipment interfaces need to be considered together.
Patching and cable routes
A cabling project includes the connections inside the cabinet as well as the cable run. Plan patch-panel positions, cable management and an outlet naming scheme so a desk or device can be traced back to its connection. Ceiling, tray and floor access should be coordinated with the fit-out works.
