1. 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 infrastruc-
ture that transports information for multiple systems.
2. ICT: information and communication technology
3. SCS infrastructure is intended to serve a wide range of applications, includ-
ing:: • 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.
4. AP: access provider
5. SP: service provider
6. 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.
7. demarcation point: The point at which the AP cabling meets the client's cabling infrastructure
8. An SP is: the operator of any service that furnishes telecommunications content delivered over AP facilities.
9. 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.
10. 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).
11. 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.
12. Backbone cabling consists of: backbone cables,
intermediate cross-connect (IC [building distributor (BD)]),
main cross-connect (MC [campus distributor (CD)]),
mechanical terminations,
patch cords or jumpers used for backbone-to-backbone cross-connection,
cabling between buildings.
13. There are two types of backbone cabling:: • Interbuilding backbone cabling distributes
telecommunications services between buildings.
• Intrabuilding backbone cabling distributes telecommunications services between telecommunications spaces (e.g.,
ER, TR) within a single building.
14. Δ =: Work area
15. AP =: Access provider
16. EF =: Entrance facility
17. ER =: Equipment room
18. HC (FD) =: Horizontal cross-connect (floor distributor)
19. IC (BD) =: Intermediate cross-connect (building distributor)
20. MC (CD) =: Main cross-connect (campus distributor)
21. SP =: Service provider
22. TE =: Telecommunications enclosure
23. TR =: Telecommunications room
24. A first-level backbone consists of: cabling that is installed between an MC (CD) and an IC (BD) or
a horizontal cross-connect (HC [floor distributor (FD)]).
25. A second-level backbone is: a cable that is installed between an IC (BD) and an HC (FD)
