Sub-comms Cabinet - Components

Apostolos
Hi

I dont know if this is a suitable place to ask this however I will give it a try...

I have a tall building of 14 storeys

The main comms cabinet is on the ground floor and we shall install a sub-comms cabinet on the 10th floor that will do floors 6-14. Totally 150 x CAT6 will depart from this sub cabinet to various RJ45 sockets on floors 6-14.

This sub cabinet will be connected with Fiber Optic cable back to the main comms cabinet

We are going to use 1U 24 port patch panels in the sub-cabinet to satisfy these 150 points. So we shall have at least 7 or these racks.

My understanding is that ALL ACTIVE equipment will be housed in the main comms cabinet.

Where is the FO cable going to connect within the sub cabinet?

Does it go directly on the 24-port patch panels?

Does it go to a rack mounted kit above the patch panels and from there goes to the patch panel racks inside the sub cabinet?

Excuse my ignorance around comms networks.

This is going to be the job of the sub contractor that we are going to empoy.... however I would like some insight before we talk to him

Any help is highly appreciated

Cheers

    i tried to DM you but it wouldn't work, so, in response to your DM:


    almost


    you have switches in the main cabinet and switches in the sub cabinet.


    The fibre links the switches together 


    if you have 150 sockets on the wall, typically they wont all be in use, generally, you install double the number of wall sockets than you require.


    you install enough switch ports to support the equipment you are going to end up with, so if you have 50 PCs, then you would fit 3 24 port switches


    not every wall socket would normally be patched in. 


    dont forget that the maximum length you can run copper ethernet cable is 100m including patch leads at each end
