Customer requirements • Network topologies • Cable choice • Hardware • TSB 75 • TSB72
Customer Requirements • Nature of traffic • Email • Video • Security • Of data • Of closets • EMI • Fluorescent lighting • Motors • Site • Campus • Occupied • Listed • Run lenghts • Future proofing • Bit rates • EMI • Security
Customer Requirements • Cost • Installation • Maintenance • Long V's Short term • Environment • Open plan • Office • Rearrangement frequency
Network Topologies • CHOICE OF TOPOLOGY DEPENDS ON • LAYOUT OF BUILDING • AMOUNT OF EQUIPMENT TO BE CONNECTED • TYPE OF EQUIPMENT TO BE CONNECTED • PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS • COST
Network Topologies • POINT TO POINT TOPOLOGY • DIRECT CONNECTION BETWEEN TWO PIECES OF EQUIPMENT
Network Topologies • BUS TOPOLOGY • NODES CONNECTED TO A SINGLE WIRE • PROBLEMS DIFFICULT TO ISOLATE • MAIN CABLE FAILS ENTIRE NETWORK FAILS • EASY TO MODIFY
Network Topologies • STAR TOPOLOGY • SEVERAL DEVICES OR NODES CONNECTED TO A CENTRAL HUB • RELIABLE • ONE MALFUNCTIONING NODE DOES NOT UPSET THE REST OF THE NETWORK • FLEXIBILITY • NODES CAN BE ADDED OR REMOVED WITHOUT DISRUPTING SYSTEM • MORE CABLE REQUIRED THAN A RING OR BUS TOPOLOGY
Network Topologies • RING TOPOLOGY • NODES CONNECTED IN CLOSED LOOP • DATA PASSED FROM NODE TO NODE TO TARGET DESTINATION • NODE FAILS - NETWORK MAY FAIL • ADDITION OF NODE ONLY WHEN NETWORK INOPERATIVE
Network Topologies • PHYSICAL STAR • RING CONFIGURATION • STAR TOPOLOGY
Network Topologies • COLLAPSED BACKBONE • SIMILAR TO STAR
Network Topologies • SHARED NETWORK
Network Topologies • SWITCHED NETWORK
Cable Choice • UTP • FTP, STP, ScTP • Wireless • Fibre
UTP • Horizontal • EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) • Not resistant to EMI • Crosstalk • Not secure • Cheap • Carries up to Gigabit speeds • Distances
Screened • FTP, STP, ScTP as with UTP but • Better resistance to EMI • Better resistance to Crosstalk • Needs grounding • More expensive (labour)
Wireless • Shared 54Mbps channel • Ease of installation • No cable • Susceptible to EMI
Fibre • Multimode • Singlemode • Secure • Cost • Distances • Bandwidth
Hybrids • Copper • Fiber • Multimode / Singlemode • Future proofing • Cost
Switch • Central component of star topology • Regenerates and repeats data • Extended distances • Dedicated bandwidth • Switching • Same media (e.g.. Ethernet)
Router • Connects two LANs together • Routes data from source to destination • Reduces network traffic • Improves performance • Relatively high cost • Extended distances • Mixed media (e.g. Ethernet & token ring) • Mixed protocols (.eg. TCP/IP & Novell IPX)
Consolidation point • Zone distribution • Open office cabling • Consolidation point • Must be at least 15m from telecomms closet • Should be limited to serving a maximum of 12 work areas. • Located is fully accessible, permanent locations • Was known as TSB72 in EIA standards
TIA/EIA-568-B.1 6.4.2Consolidation point (TSB 75) • Advantages • Transition point allowed along 90m • Office divided into zones • Only short run at transition point moved when office moves • Less disruption • Less lost productivity • Work area leads can be lengthened if run is less than 90m • Is not meter for meter (see table) • Leads have higher attenuation
Patch leads • The connection from the CP to the TO uses solid core copper. • The option is available to use a stranded cable but the total maximum length of your link is reduced • Stranded cable has 20% higher attenuation so the total length of your link must be reduced • Option to use a 26AWG cable • 50% higher attenuation • must adjust figure in table accordingly
11801 and TIA/EIA-568-B.1 • Centralised Optical Architecture • Previously called TSB 72 • Usually for fibre systems • Can use copper • 300 meter length limit (including patch cord in TIA/EIA version only) • ISO have 3 link lengths of 300, 500 & 2000 m • Also a number of application link lengths • Electronics on one floor • Higher densities on hubs • Less space used
