Structures Cabling Systems
IEC
International Standards for Electrical and Electronic Systems
house equipment and wiring
consolidation points that serve the users inside
the building or campus.
Equipment Room
Is the point where the Telephone
Company Network ENDS AND CONNECTS with the On Premise wiring at the customer premises
Entrance Facilities
connects between the equipment/telecommunications rooms, so named because the rooms are typically on different floors
Backbone cabling
connects between the backbone cabling and
horizontal cabling.
Telecom Room
can be IW (inside wiring) or Plenum Cabling and connects telecommunications rooms to individual outlets or work areas on the floor, usually through the wireways, conduits or ceiling
spaces of each floor
Horizontal Cabling
Interconnection point in the horizontal cable
Consolidation Point
connect end-
user equipment to outlets of the
horizontal cabling system
Work Area Components
