0:05Hi.
0:07On this video, we'll be talking about
0:10the EIA/TIA wiring standards.
0:13So, EIA stands for Electronic Industries
0:16Alliance
0:18and TIA
0:20Telecommunications Industry Association.
0:24So, in
0:26systems administration, the system
0:28administrator has to ensure
0:31the standards or the standardization
0:35when it comes to
0:36the network infrastructure. And one way
0:38to ensure is
0:40the EIA/TIA wiring standards. This is
0:43the deployment
0:45and adaptation of the standards
0:48on the network infrastructure being
0:49managed by the systems admin.
0:57Okay, so for the outline of the topic
1:00so, we will be talking about the EIA/TIA
1:03wiring standards
1:05and the coverage area of the EIA/TIA,
1:09which includes entrance facility
1:12equipment room
1:14vertical cabling
1:16telecommunication closet or telecom
1:18closet
1:19you've got horizontal cabling
1:22and the work area. So, this comprises
1:25the EIA/TIA wiring standards for
1:28computer networks.
1:31Let's get started.
1:33Let's start with the EIA/TIA wiring
1:36standards
1:37description or definition.
1:39So, basically, this is the standards for
1:41commercial and telecommunications.
1:44It consists of a group of standard
1:48covering different aspects of a premise
1:51cabling and other wiring practices.
1:54So, if you will remember, you've got the
1:57color coding on the
2:01UTP, okay? So, that is basically based
2:04on the EIA/TIA wiring standards, wherein
2:07we have the EIA/TIA 568A and 568B color
2:12coding for UTP cables.
2:16Now, let's talk about the first
2:18area, which is the entrance facility.
2:21Now, entrance facility is an entrance to
2:24a building for both public network
2:26service cables, including wireless,
2:29including the entrance point of the
2:31building,
2:32and continuing to the entrance room or
2:35space.
2:37In every communication or or in every
2:40infrastructure network, so the
2:42horizontal cabling,
2:45the telecom outlets, the work area, the
2:48backbone,
2:49intermediate and main cross-connects,
2:53this should start on the
2:56entrance facility.
3:02Okay? So, entrance facility basically is
3:06a place
3:07in a campus or in a building wherein
3:10all the communications leading to the
3:13outside world
3:15is connected and
3:17uh organized and placed.
3:19So, if you have the internet or ISP
3:22connection, it should terminated
3:25or should be terminated on the entrance
3:26facility.
3:27If you have the cable TV, it should be
3:29terminated on the entrance facility.
3:31Basically, all your connections to the
3:34outside world is terminated on the
3:37entrance facility.
3:38Entrance facility is also
3:41an area where the responsibility of the
3:45network administrator or the systems
3:47administrator begins,
3:49and the responsibility of the service
3:52provider ends.
3:55So, in a given building, for instance,
3:58entrance facility is basically
4:01located on the entrance of the building,
4:05all right, or on the ground floor,
4:08wherein
4:09the network infrastructure being managed
4:12by the systems admin
4:14is
4:15or has started.
4:17Okay?
4:19So, on this diagram here, the entrance
4:21facility is
4:24the entrance of the office or the
4:26organization, which is on the ground
4:28floor.
4:32Okay. So, the next one is the equipment
4:34room.
4:35So, equipment room contains the main
4:37distribution frame, the main location
4:40for backbone cabling,
4:41phone systems, power protection, you've
4:44got a UPS, LAN equipment such as
4:47routers, switches, bridges, firewalls,
4:51hubs, and any file servers, or server
4:54farm,
4:55and data processing equipment, including
4:57the mechanical terminations.
5:00So, a typical equipment room look like
5:02this,
5:03wherein you have the server farm,
5:06all your core devices is located.
5:10If you still remember the hierarchy in
5:12network
5:13implementation,
5:15you've got the core, the distribution,
5:16and the access. Basically, access is on
5:20the user's end, distribution is on the
5:23telecom
5:24closets,
5:25and the core is basically
5:28inside the equipment room.
5:31Okay? So, on on the equipment room,
5:35or we call it the main distribution
5:36facility
5:38in some books, okay?
5:40So, observe that the cable is running on
5:44the ceiling, or
5:46it is on the or under that the
5:49between the floor
5:51and the base.
5:53All right? And as much as possible, all
5:55cables should be color-coded when you
5:58implement
5:59networking uh infrastructure.
6:02Okay?
6:04So, next is
6:06vertical cabling.
6:08Now, vertical cabling is also called as
6:10the backbone cabling or or backbone
6:12wiring.
6:14These are the wires that extend from the
6:17floor to floor across the campus
6:20or from telecommunication closets to an
6:22equipment room.
6:23So, this is contrasted with horizontal
6:27cabling,
6:28which connects individual workstation to
6:31the network.
6:33Now, based on our
6:36layout here, a vertical cabling
6:39basically connects your
6:41telecommunication closet
6:43or telecom closet or TC.
6:46So, it is recommended in this design
6:49for every floor of the building,
6:51there should be a telecommunication
6:53closet.
6:56And this telecommunication closet on
6:58each floor is connected via vertical
7:01cabling or backbone cabling.
7:05So, as what I've said earlier,
7:06the telecommunication closet serves as
7:09the distribution
7:11on the infrastructure.
7:14And the equipment room serves as the
7:16core
7:18of the infrastructure.
7:23Okay? So, the next area is telecom
7:26closet or telecommunication closet.
7:28So, this is also known as the wiring
7:31closet,
7:32okay?
7:33Or the distribution facility,
7:36okay? Or in some books, they refer to as
7:39the intermediate distribution facility.
7:42So, a room or closet that houses all the
7:44telecommunication equipment, especially
7:46the switches, that that distributes
7:49um the network over the infrastructure.
7:55Servers as termination point for the
7:59horizontal cabling system
8:01of a network. And it contains the
8:04network distribution panels,
8:06cross-connects, and backbone.
8:09So, again, in our building layout,
8:12telecommunication closet
8:15is this orange box here,
8:17which distributes access to all the
8:19workstations and work area over the
8:22infrastructure.
8:24Okay? Now, if we get inside the
8:27telecommunication closet, basically it
8:29contains switches, okay, which is used
8:32for
8:33distribution.
8:36Now, in some organization, this is how a
8:39typical telecom closet look like.
8:41Okay? You've got the messy connections,
8:44all right?
8:46So, and if you will observe on this
8:48diagram,
8:49so the cable is not organized,
8:52and they are using a single-colored
8:56UTP cable.
8:58Okay? A good design of a
9:00telecommunication closet should be look
9:01like this.
9:03Wherein your cables are organized,
9:05you're using a color-coded cables. For
9:08instance, all blue goes to this area,
9:11all yellow goes to this area, all green
9:13goes to this floor, and so on.
9:15Okay? It should be organized.
9:18So, that's telecommunication closet or
9:20[music]
9:21the
9:23intermediate distribution facility or
9:25IDF.
9:30Okay, next would be the horizontal
9:32cabling.
9:34Horizontal cabling is any cabling that
9:36is used to connect floors wiring closet
9:39to wall plates in the work area
9:42to provide local area network drops for
9:44connecting users computers to the
9:46network.
9:48So this includes horizontal cables,
9:51telecommunications outlet or connectors
9:54in the work area.
9:56You've got your wall patch
9:58um connections
10:00or wall outlet, mechanical terminations
10:03and patch cords or jumpers located in
10:07the telecommunications room
10:08>> [music]
10:09>> and may include multi-user
10:10telecommunications outlet assemblies and
10:13consolidation points.
10:16So using again our layout here or the
10:19building layout,
10:20so the horizontal cabling is the cable
10:23that runs from the telecom closet
10:26going to the wall plates on the work
10:27area.
10:29So this red wires here is considered to
10:31be a horizontal cable or horizontal
10:33cabling.
10:35This uses
10:36UTP
10:38to run from the telecom closet to the
10:40wall plates on the work area and this
10:42has a maximum distance of or maximum
10:45length
10:46of 90 m.
10:49Well, in theory,
10:50UTP cables can be run up to one one
10:55100 m.
10:57Okay?
10:58So and therefore
11:00the practice on the EIA/TIA wiring
11:03standard is to use only a maximum length
11:05of 90 m on the horizontal cable.
11:08Okay?
11:09So from the horizontal cable, basically,
11:12it is terminated on the wall plates.
11:15Okay?
11:16And from the wall plates going to the
11:18work station, in there on the work area,
11:21we uses a patch cable and patch cable
11:24recommended length is 6 m.
11:27So you've got horizontal cabling
11:30having a 90 m maximum length and patch
11:33cable with a 6 m maximum length. So,
11:35that's 96.
11:38Okay, 96 m in total. Now, where is the 4
11:41m? Okay? So, 4 m is basically used
11:46on the
11:49telecommunication closet, wherein we
11:52connect patch panel and the switch.
11:55Okay? The cable that is used to connect
11:58patch panel to the switch
12:00should be having a maximum length of 4
12:02m.
12:03So, all in all, the total run of the UTP
12:06cable is 100 m.
12:10Okay?
12:15All right. So, the last one would be the
12:17work area. Basically, the work area is
12:19where the workstation is located.
12:22This is where the end users in the
12:25production area
12:26is located. So, the work area is the
12:29space inside a building where employees,
12:33building occupants, or system users
12:35work, and their communication equipment.
12:39This is also the area where the
12:40horizontal communication cables are
12:42terminated.
12:44Okay? Now, on this example,
12:48basically, this is the work area.
12:50Okay? This is where your workers,
12:55your programmers, are working. Okay? And
12:58this is where also the horizontal cable
13:00is terminated via the wall plates.
13:04Okay?
13:05So, this are the components of the
13:08EIA/TIA wiring standard. So, if a
13:10systems administrator is going to
13:12implement a wiring
13:14infrastructure, okay, so for the
13:16organization,
13:18they have to ensure that these
13:19components
13:21are present on the implementation.
13:24Okay? So, to summarize, again, the
13:27EIA/TIA wiring standard has the
13:29following area. Namely, entrance
13:32facility,
13:34equipment room,
13:36telecommunication closets,
13:38which are connected by a backbone
13:41cabling or vertical cabling.
13:43You've got horizontal cabling, which
13:45runs from the telecom closet to the work
13:47area, and terminated on the wall plates.
13:50And the last one is the work area.
13:53Okay? So,
13:56those are the components that needs to
13:58be ensured
14:01in adopting these standards in
14:02structured cabling for computer
14:04networks.
14:06All right? So, that ends up my
14:08presentation.
14:11Thank you so much for listening.
