Single-mode fiber optic cables are commonly used for backbone cabling due to their ability to transmit data over long distances with minimal signal loss.
Horizontal cabling connects individual workstations and devices to the network’s backbone, enabling communication within the building.
The Main Distribution Frame (MDF) is a central point where internal network cabling connects with external communication lines, providing a link between the local network and outside services.
Redundancy and fault tolerance are critical in data center network design to ensure continuous operation and minimize downtime in case of equipment failures.
A structured cabling system organizes and standardizes the physical cabling and network infrastructure, making it easier to manage and support current and future network needs.
