structured cabling system (SCS)
is the complete coniguration of cabling and associated connecting hardware installed to
provide a comprehensive information and communications technology (ICT) systems
infrastructure that transports information for multiple systems.
ICT
information and communication technology
SCS infrastructure is intended to serve a wide range of applications, including:
• Analog, plain old telephone services.
• Digital telephone services (e.g., voice over Internet protocol [VoIP]).
• Uniied messaging solutions.
• Videoconferencing.
• Power over Ethernet (PoE).
• Computer networking.
• Building automation systems (BAS).
• Building management systems (BMS).
• Audiovisual systems.
AP
access provider
SP
service provider
An AP is
a company (e.g., telephone, local exchange carrier, broadband services, cable TV
[CATV]) that provides a physical (copper or optical fiber cabling) or wireless circuit path
to the site.
demarcation point
The point at which the AP cabling meets the client's cabling infrastructure
, An SP is
the operator of any service that furnishes telecommunications content delivered over AP
facilities.
Standards provide the following beneits:
• Consistency of design and installation.
• Conformance to physical and transmission requirements.
• A basis for examining a proposed system expansion.
• Uniform documentation.
An SCS includes most or all of the following components:
• Backbone cabling and associated pathways.
• Cross-connection facilities.
• Interconnection facilities
• Horizontal cabling and associated pathways
• Work areas.
• Telecommunications outlets/connectors.
• Consolidation points (CPs).
• Multi-user telecommunications outlet assemblies (MUTOAs).
• Transition points (TPs).
• Centralized cabling.
• Distributed cabling.
• Administration (e.g., labeling, documentation).
Backbone Cabling
the cabling and related components that are used between the spaces within an ICT
systems cabling structure, such telecommunications rooms (TRs), equipment rooms
(ERs), and telecommunications enclosures (TEs), that handle the majority of network
trafic.
Backbone cabling consists of
backbone cables,
intermediate cross-connect (IC [building distributor (BD)]),
main cross-connect (MC [campus distributor (CD)]),
mechanical terminations,
