1. Design,
2. Engineering
3. Installation services for customer premises wiring.
As part of the our Structured Cabling System, the UTP CAT 6 plus Product Family exceeds the
highest measure of performance available over Category 6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable.
Individually, these products perform substantially above industry standards for Category 6
applications. Installed as Structured Cabling System, the CAT 6 Product Family assures maximum
performance over your entire network because this is the only comprehensive collection of products
specifically designed and manufactured by the same vendor to complement each other in premises
networking applications.
The Structured cabling system consists of the transmission network inside a building or campus of
buildings. It connects voice and data communications, video and building automation devices,
switching equipment and other information management systems to one another as well as to
outside communications networks. It includes all the cabling and associated distribution
components between the point where the building wiring connects to the outside network or
Telephone Company lines and the voice, data and video terminals at work locations. The system
also serves a building or group of buildings on a campus-like premise.
Our Structured cabling system consists of various families of components, including transmission
media, circuit administration hardware, connectors, jacks, plugs, adapters, transmission electronics,
electrical protection devices and support hardware. These components are used to build elements,
each having a specific purpose that allows easy implementation and smooth transition to enhance
distribution technology as the communications requirements change. Structured cabling system is
independent of the equipment it serves and is capable of interconnecting many different devices,
including data terminals, analog and digital telephones, personal computers and host computers,
security systems, as well as system common equipment.
1. It has an open architecture allowing for easy expandability. Structured cabling system is modular,
designed with growth and rearrangement in mind. It uses a star topology and conforms to EIA/TIA
568A /B Commercial Building Standard.
3. Structured Cabling System is a total solution without requiring components from other
manufacturers.
STAR TOPOLOGY
The star topology of our structured cabling system can be broken down into the following
subsystems.
1. Horizontal Cabling subsystem consisting the horizontal wiring from the administration
points to the telecommunications outlet. The media commonly used is CAT 5/CAT6 UTP
or fiber optic cable (fiber to the desk)
2. Backbone cabling subsystem consisting of the connections between administration points
within a building or within a campus setup.
3. Work Area subsystem consisting of the telecommunications outlets and the patch cables
used to connect terminal equipment to the Telecommunications outlets.
4. Administration subsystem consisting of patch panels and patch cords. It is used to
connect the horizontal and backbone subsystems to the active Network devices like
switches.
5. Equipment Room subsystem consisting of Cabinets, air conditioning and associated
equipment.
Horizontal Cabling
We install our horizontal solutions based on CAT 6 PLUS UTP cabling capable of transmitting data
up to 1000 Mbps therefore offering support for Gigabit Ethernet to the desktop in the future
should the AFC require to move in this direction. . It uses a star topology and conforms to
ANSI/EIA/TIA-568B and ISO 11801 Commercial Building Standards.
In addition;
5 user patch cords on each wing will be 5 meters long with the balance being 3 meters catering for
any workstation requiring long patch cords.
Data outlets shall be flush mounted on the trunking.
A double faceplate will be installed configured with two modules for data and voice.
BACKBONE CABLING
Geovision Limited back-bone cabling installation is based on 8-core 50/125um multimode fiber
Optic cables for the data backbone. All the strands will be terminated at each end of the cable.
The fiber cable proposed has sufficient bandwidth capacity that will support current system
requirements and also support future system requirements. The fiber has initially been configured to
support Gigabit Ethernet. The fiber cable will be protected from external interference by use of
Metal conduits to be installed in the riser.
The proposed solution will offer easy administration and superior performance by following design
and installation guidelines as indicated below;
Deployment of fiber optic patch panels and patch cords at all the administration points.
The Multimode fiber optic cables will be terminated on multimode SC. This will ensure uniform
continuity of the fiber core from end to end avoiding unnecessary signal loss.
Fiber Optic cables will be terminated using the Hot Melt method of termination. Hot Melt
termination is the modern way of terminating fiber optic cables
42U CABINET
ROUTING
In computer networking the term routing refers to selecting paths in a computer network along
which to send data.
Routing directs forwarding, the passing of logically addressed packets from their source network,
toward their ultimate destination through inter
intermediary
mediary nodes; typically hardware devices called
routers. The routing process usually directs forwarding on the basis of routing tables which
maintain a record of the best routes to various network destinations. Thus constructing routing
tables, which are held in the routers' memory, becomes very important for efficient routing.
Small networks may involve manually configured routing tables, while larger networks
network involve
complex topologies and may change constantly, making the manual construction of routing tables
very problematic. Nevertheless, most of the public switched telephone network (PSTN) uses pre-
pre
computed routing tables, with fallback routes if the most direct route becomes blocked; see routing
in the PSTN. Dynamic routing attempts to solve this problem by constructing routing tables
automatically, based on information carried by routing protocols, and allowing the network to act
nearly autonomously in avoiding
voiding network failures and blockages
Packet-switched
switched networks, such as the Internet,
split data up into packets, each labeled with the
complete destination address and each routed
individually. Circuit switched networks, such as
the voice telephone network, also perform
perf
routing, in order to find paths for circuits (such
as telephone calls) over which they can send
large amounts of data without continually repeating the complete destination address.
VPN
Virtual private networks can be a cost effective and secure way for different corporations to
provide users access to the corporate network and for remote networks to communicate with each
other across the Internet.
VPN connections are more cost-effective
effective than dedicated private lines; usually a VPN involves 2
parts:
1. The protected or "inside" network, which provides physical and ad administrative
ministrative security to
protect the transmission.
Generally, a firewall sits between a remote user's workstation or client and the host network or
server. As the user's client establishes the communication with the firewall, the client may pass
authentication data to an authentication service inside the perimeter.
A known trusted person, sometimes only when using trusted devices, can be provided with
appropriate security privileges to access resources not available to general users.
Many VPN client programs can be configured to require that all IP traffic must pass through the
tunnel while the VPN connection is active, for increased security. From the user's perspective, this
means that while the VPN connection is active, all access outside the secure network must pass
through the same firewall as if the user were physically connected to the inside of the secured
network.
This reduces the risk that an attacker might gain access to the secured network by attacking the
VPN client's host machine: to other computers on employee’s home network, or on the public
internet, it is as though the machine running the VPN client simply does not exist.
Such security is important because other computers local to the network on which the client
computer is operating may be untrusted or partially trusted. Even with a home network that is
protected from the outside internet by a firewall, people who share a home may be simultaneously
working for different employers over their respective VPN connections from the shared home
network.
Each employer would therefore want to ensure their proprietary data is kept secure, even if another
computer in the local network gets infected with malware. And if a traveling employee uses a VPN
client from a Wi-Fi access point in a public place, such security is even more important. However,
the use of IPX/SPX is one way users might still be able to access local resources.
Types of VPN:
Secure VPNs use cryptographic tunneling protocols to provide the intended confidentiality
(blocking snooping and thus Packet sniffing), sender authentication (blocking identity spoofing),
and message integrity (blocking message alteration) to achieve privacy. When properly chosen,
implemented, and used, such techniques can provide secure communications over unsecured
networks. This has been the usually intended purpose for VPN for some years.
Because such choice, implementation, and use are not trivial, there are many insecure VPN
schemes available on the market.
Secure VPN technologies may also be used to enhance security as a "security overlay" within
dedicated networking infrastructures
IP sec (IP security) - commonly used over IPv4, and an obligatory part of IPv6.
SSL/TLS used either for tunneling the entire network stack, as in the OpenVPN project,
or for securing what is, essentially, a web proxy. SSL is a framework more often associated
with e-commerce, but it has been built-upon by vendors like Aventail and Juniper to
provide remote access VPN capabilities.
A major practical advantage of an SSL-based VPN is that it can be accessed from any
public wireless access point that allows access to SSL-based e-commerce websites, whereas
other VPN protocols may not work from such public access points.
Open VPN, an open standard VPN. Clients and servers are available for all major
operating systems.
PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol), developed jointly by a number of companies,
including Microsoft.
L2TP (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol), which includes work by both Microsoft and Cisco.
L2TPv3 (Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol version 3), a new release.
VPN Quarantine
The client machine at the end of a VPN could be a threat and a source of attack; this has no
connection with VPN design and is usually left to system administration efforts. There are
solutions that provide VPN Quarantine services which run end point checks on the remote
client while the client is kept in a quarantine zone until healthy. Microsoft ISA Server
2004/2006 together with VPN-Q 2006 from Winfrasoft or an application called QSS
(Quarantine Security Suite) provide this functionality.
MPVPN (Multi Path Virtual Private Network). MPVPN is a registered trademark owned by
Ragula Systems Development Company. See Trademark Applications and Registrations Retrieval
(TARR)
Some large ISPs now offer "managed" VPN service for business customers who want the security
and convenience of a VPN but prefer not to undertake administering a VPN server themselves. In
addition to providing remote workers with secure access to their employer's internal network, other
security and management services are sometimes included as part of the package. Examples include
keeping anti-virus and anti-spyware programs updated on each client's computer.
Trusted VPNs do not use cryptographic tunneling, and instead rely on the security of a single
provider's network to protect the traffic. In a sense, these are an elaboration of traditional network
and system administration work.
Mobile VPN – A secure remote access solution designed for mobile and wireless users. A Mobile
Virtual Private Network (Mobile VPN) integrates standards-based authentication and encryption
technologies to secure data transmissions to and from devices and to protect networks from
unauthorized users. Designed for wireless environments, Mobile VPNs are designed as an access
solution for users that are on the move and require secure access to information and applications
over a variety of wired and wireless networks.
Mobile VPNs allow users to roam seamlessly across IP-based networks and in and out of wireless
coverage areas without losing application sessions or dropping the secure VPN session. For
instance, highway patrol officers require access to mission-critical applications in order to perform
their jobs as they travel across networks.
The GSM network is divided into three major systems which are the switching system, the base
station system, and the operation and support system (Global System for Mobile Communication
(GSM)). The cell phone connects to the base system station which then connects to the operation
and support station; it then connects to the switching station where the call is transferred where it
needs to go (Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM)). This is used for cellular phones, is
the most common standard and is used for a majority of cellular providers.
Personal Communications Service (PCS)
PCS is a radio band that can be used by mobile phones in North America. Sprint happened to be
the first service to set up a PCS.
D-AMPS
D-AMPS, which stands for Digital Advanced Mobile Phone Service, is an upgraded version of
AMPS but it is being phased out due to advancement in technology. The newer GSM networks are
replacing the older system.
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is a commonly used wireless network in computer systems which enable connection to the
internet or other machines that have Wi-Fi functionalities. Wi-Fi networks broadcast radio waves
that can be picked up by Wi-Fi receivers that are attached to different computers.
LAN SWITCHING
Layer 2 switching
Layer 2 switching is hardware based, which means it uses the media access control address (MAC
address) from the host's network interface cards (NICs) to decide where to forward frames.
Switches use application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) to build and maintain filter tables (also
known as MAC address tables). One way to think of a layer 2 switch is as a multi port bridge.
SERVER FARMS
Servers are no longer distributed to physical locations because virtual LANs can be created to create
broadcast domains in a switched internet work. This means that all servers can be placed in a central
location, yet a certain server can still be part of a workgroup in a remote branch, for example.
Intranets - Allows organization-wide client/server communications based on a Web technology.
These new technologies are allowing more data to flow off of local subnets and onto a routed
network, where a router's performance can become the bottleneck.
Bridged networks break up collision domains, but the network remains one large broadcast domain.
Similarly, layer 2 switches (bridges) cannot break up broadcast domains, which can cause
performance issues and limits the size of your network. Broadcast and multicasts, along with the
slow convergence of spanning tree, can cause major problems as the network grows. Because of
these problems, layer 2 switches cannot completely replace routers in the internet work.
Layer 3 switching
The only difference between a layer 3 switch and a router is the way the administrator creates the
physical implementation. Also, traditional routers use microprocessors to make forwarding
decisions, and the switch performs only hardware-based packet switching. However, some
traditional routers can have other hardware functions as well in some of the higher-end models.
Layer 3 switches can be placed anywhere in the network because they handle high-performance
LAN traffic and can cost-effectively replace routers. Layer 3 switching is all hardware-based packet
forwarding, and all packet forwarding is handled by hardware ASICs.
Layer 3 switches really are no different functionally than a traditional router and perform the same
functions, which are listed here:
Layer 4 switching
Layer 4 switching is considered a hardware-based layer 3 switching technology that can also consider
the application used (for example, Telnet or FTP).
Layer 4 switching provides additional routing above layer 3 by using the port numbers found in the
Transport layer header to make routing decisions.
These port numbers are found in Request for Comments (RFC) 1700 and reference the upper-layer
protocol, program, or application.
Layer 4 information has been used to help make routing decisions for quite a while. For example,
extended access lists can filter packets based on layer 4 port numbers. Another example is
accounting information gathered by Net Flow switching in Cisco's higher-end routers.
The largest benefit of layer 4 switching is that the network administrator can configure a layer 4
switch to prioritize data traffic by application, which means a QoS can be defined for each user.
For example, a number of users can be defined as a Video group and be assigned more priority, or
band-width, based on the need for videoconferencing.
However, because users can be part of many groups and run many applications, the layer 4 switches
must be able to provide a huge filter table or response time would suffer. This filter table must be
much larger than any layer 2 or 3 switch. A layer 2 switch might have a filter table only as large as
the number of users connected to the network may be even less if some hubs are used within the
switched fabric. However, a layer 4 switch might have five or six entries for each and every device
connected to the network. If the layer 4 switch does not have a filter table that includes all the
information, the switch will not be able to produce wire-speed results.
Multi-layer switching can move traffic at wire speed and also provide layer 3 routing, which can
remove the bottleneck from the network routers. This technology is based on the idea of route
once, switch many. Multi-layer switching can make routing/switching decisions based on the
following:
Options
Cat 6 plus or optical fibers can be used
If optical fiber, select 8 core 50/125 um or 62.5/125 multimode
If using fiber select SC or ST connectors
Cat 6plus/Class E can be specified
Cat 6plus Cable can be unscreened, UTP, Foil screened, FTP, or Foil and Braid screened S-FTP.
The cabling and its containment system will be clearly identified and their locations, routes and
capabilities recorded in a cable administration system. This usually involves a logical numbering
scheme that can be applied to all cables, outlets, patch panels and even containment systems.
Various color schemes are also available.
These schemes can be paper based but for the larger installations then a computer based system is
advisable. There are several proprietary solutions on the market which offer various database and
graphical methods for keeping track of cabling assets. Some systems are also active in that they can
detect moves and changes and automatically update the database.
Useful standards are:
• TIA/EIA-606 Administration standard for the telecommunications infrastructure of commercial buildings
• EN 50174 Information technology – cabling installation
All exposed metallic elements of the cable system and cable containment system will be earthed
(grounded) for safety and also electromagnetic compatibility requirements. If screened cables are
used then special attention must be given to effective bonding of the screening elements. Poorly
earthed screened cabling may behave worse than unscreened cabling.
An electrically ‘clean’ earth must be available at all points where the cabling is terminated, but
especially within telecommunication closets, equipment rooms and service entrances. A clean earth
is usually defined as a conductive element with not more than 1 volt rms potential difference
between it and the real earth down below. Copper cabling linking two different buildings can suffer
from earth loops if the ground potential is different. Non-metallic optical cabling is usually picked
for problem areas such as these.
Copper cables.
There are manufacturers of hand held copper cable testers that will automatically test the installed
cable plant for all the expected parameters. By the use of a remote injector, the cabling is tested
from both ends, which is a condition of the standards. The cabling has to pass all of the suite of
tests to be awarded and overall pass. Points to remember are;
What is being tested? The channel (i.e. end-to-end including all the patch cords) or the basic link (i.e.
the permanently installed cable from outlet to patch panel). The test figures are different for each
setting. It is usually more practical to test the basic link (also referred to as the permanent link).
What level is being tested? The tester should normally be set to Cat6plus.
The results are stored electronically and must be in a format recognizable by the cable management
software that comes with the tester. There are now numerous test standards and draft standards.
The most influential is likely to be;
IEC 61935 Generic specification for the testing of balanced generic cabling in accordance with
ISO/IEC 11801
The tests required are; IEC 61935 Wire Map X Attenuation X; NEXT pair to pair X; NEXT Power
sum X; ELFEXT air to pair X; ELFEXT Power sum X; Return Loss X; Propagation Delay X;
Delay Skew X;DC Loop Resistance X. Cable length and ACR are also useful additions to this set of
tests.
Optical cables
All that needs to be tested with short distance multimode optical cables is attenuation. This can be
achieved by a device called a Light source and power meter (LSPM). This device will simply
measure the absolute loss across the optical link. This then has to be compared with the design value
of attenuation. If the tested value is less than the design value then the link can be seen to be
acceptable.
Optical Time Domain Reflect meters (OTDR) can give a great deal of information about optical
fibers, but for short haul multimode fiber they are an expensive overkill that gives results that need
expert interpretation. An OTDR remains an essential tool for fault finding.
We provide for today’s networking needs with the added security of a 15-20 year system channel
warranty. Installers are trained to the highest standard so as to maintain a consistently high level of
system performance. The 20-year system warranty applies to structured cabling installations that
