Backbone Cabling from TRs/TE to SIM ER

In the hierarchical network design, 6 Category 6 (Cat 6) cables and 2 fiber optic cables are run from each of the two Telecommunications Rooms (TRs) and from the Telecommunications Enclosure (TE) to the SIM Equipment Room (SIM ER).

All cables are routed through the conduit cross box to ensure proper protection, organization, and ease of future pulls or maintenance. Once the cables are installed, terminated, tested, and certified, the network infrastructure is activated and commissioned.

Objectives

• Deliver standards-compliant, future-proof cabling infrastructure
• Support high-speed data, voice, and video applications
• Create a scalable, easily maintainable network backbone

Key Accomplishments

Copper & Coaxial Cabling

• Installed and terminated Cat 6 twisted-pair cabling using both T568A and T568B configurations
• Pulled Om4 Fiber to replace the OS1
• Performed all work in strict accordance with ANSI/TIA-568 and BICSI standards to ensure performance, safety, and code compliance

Fiber Optic & Backbone Installation

• Ran copper and OM4 multimode fiber from the central Equipment Room (ER) to multiple Telecommunications Rooms (TRs) and Telecommunications Enclosures (TEs)
• Terminated all horizontal and backbone cabling at patch panels for clean, organized cross-connects and simplified future moves/adds/changes

Network Topology & Design

• Built hierarchical star networks by interconnecting individual star topologies
