6.2. Summary of Project
Overview
a) The scope of this project includes the complete supply and installation of a Cabling
System for Voice, Data, Video and Control applications.
b) This cabling system shall be based on a physical star cabling topology that is
designed with a single manufactures end-to-end solution, as specified herein.
c) The proposed cabling system must be applications-independent and network
technology-neutral.
End-to-End System Requirements
To ensure all performance requirements are met, a single manufacturer for each copper and
optical fiber cabling shall be defined, designed, installed, tested, and warranted as an end-toend
system. All components of the offered system shall be from the manufacturers product
portfolio. If a single manufacturer’s components are not used, then the cabling contractor must
be certified to install the various components. A structured cabling system is to be made up of a
number of interdependent subsystems, including amongst others:
a) The Work Area subsystem, where station equipment is connected to the
Telecommunications Outlet/Connector or the Multi-User Telecommunications
Outlet Assembly (MUTOA) with modular cords (the cords may be equipped with
baluns, media filters and/or adapters, if required).
b) The Horizontal Cabling subsystem, which may include a Consolidation Point.
c) The Horizontal Cross-connect subsystem, which is located in the
Telecommunications Closet.
d) The Backbone Cabling subsystem, which provides the in-building cabling to link
the Horizontal Cross-connect to the Main/Intermediate Cross-connect.
e) The Main/Intermediate Cross-connect subsystem, which is generally located in the
Equipment Room.
f) The Campus subsystem, which provides the inter-building cabling to link the Main
Cross-connect in the central campus building to the Intermediate Cross-connect(s)
in the satellite building(s) on campus.
