STRUCTURAL NETWORK

CABLING INSTALLATIONS

Provide an efficient and scalable telecommunications infrastructure, allowing for flexible network management in an orderly and sustainable manner.

A structured network (a.k.a. structured cabling) is an organised system of cables, devices and components that is responsible for the transmission of data, voice and multimedia in a building or group of buildings. Its purpose is to provide an efficient and scalable telecommunications infrastructure, allowing for flexible network management in an orderly and sustainable manner. Thanks to its standardisation, modular design and expandability, the structured network is the foundation for the functioning of modern companies, institutions and organisations. Piterparts carries out structured network cabling installations for offices, commercial buildings, data centres, industrial facilities, schools and public institutions.

STABLE AND EFFICIENT OPERATION OF IT NETWORKS

Structured network cabling installations

In an era of rapid technological development and the growing need for reliable communication, structured network cabling installations play a key role in ensuring the stable and efficient operation of IT networks.

The correct implementation of a structured network cabling installation is fundamental to the operation of modern offices, data centres, as well as other facilities where network communication is of great importance. The important steps in the implementation of a structured network cabling installation are:

BAKS trough installation

Installation of PVC system trays

LAN cabling distribution

Patchpanel installation

Installation of modular sockets.

BAKS TROUGH INSTALLATION

Cable trays are an indispensable component of the network cabling infrastructure, allowing the safe and orderly routing of cables. Our use of the BAKS system (a renowned cable tray manufacturer), ensures the durability and high quality of the installation. In the inter-ceiling space, where cables are often routed, it is important that the installation of the troughs is carried out with attention to detail.

The inter-ceiling space is an ideal place to conceal cable infrastructure, but requires adequate protection to avoid overloading or damagingthecables. The BAKS system troughs are characterised by their high load resistance, ease of installation and expandability, making them ideal for network installations in hard-to-reach areas such as spaces above the suspended ceiling.

The next step in the process of installing structured network cabling is the assembly of PVC system troughs, which are responsible for leading the cables in a safe and aesthetic manner, in accordance with the layout of the rooms and access points marked on the installation plan. PVC troughs are made of plastic which is characterised by its lightness, resistance to moisture and flexibility. This facilitates their installation in a wide variety of building conditions.

The correct positioning of the PVC troughs according to the enclosed plan is crucial to the aesthetics and ergonomics of the entire installation. The installer must ensure that the troughs are properly fastened to the walls or ceilings, taking into account any changes in cable routing due to building conditions. Well-planned troughs allow for easy maintenance and future expansion of the network.

LAN CABLING

The main function of a structured network installation is to ensure the efficient and secure transmission of data. The distribution of LAN (Local Area Network) cabling is a key stage that determines the reliability of the network. Category 5e, 6 or 6a cables are most commonly used for this purpose, and these differ in terms of bandwidth  and  data  transmission parameters.  When  distributing  the cabling,  it  is  important  that  the cables are properly laid out, marked and routed

according to installation rules. It is also important to avoid excessively sharp cable bends and to ensure adequate distance from sources of electromagnetic interference, such as electrical cables. A properly executed LAN cabling installation will ensure a stable connection and minimise interference to data transmission.

Once the cabling has been distributed, the next step is to install patchpanels and modular sockets. Patchpanels are devices which are usually installed in server racks and are used to manage the cable connections. Each LAN cable is terminated in a patchpanel, allowing individual connections to be easily assigned 

to the corresponding network devices. Modular sockets, i.e. access points for network cables, are installed in troughs or on walls, in convenient locations for users. PITERPARTS IT’s installation team ensures that they are securely fixed and appropriately labelled, which facilitates subsequent network management.

The final installation step is to plug in the keystones, which are special modules that allow cables to be easily connected to network devices. Keystones are installed both on the cabinet side and on the PL point (Local Point, i.e. the network access point in the room). Keystones enable LAN cables to be terminated without the need for specialised tools.

The installation of these components requires precision to ensure a correct connection and avoid data transmission problems. Properly clipped keystones minimise the risk of interference and cable damage, which has a direct impact on the reliability of the entire installation.

NETWORK EFFICIENCY AND STABILITY

THE FOUNDATION OF A MODERN IT INFRASTRUCTURE

The installation of structured network cabling is a process that requires care and accuracy at every stage. The correct installation of BAKS troughs in the ceiling void, the installation of PVC troughs according to plan, the distribution of LAN cabling, as well as the installation of patchpanels, modular sockets and the crimping of keystones - these are key activities that ensure the efficiency and stability of the network. A well-designed and executed structured network installation is the foundation for any modern IT infrastructure, guaranteeing reliable operation and the possibility of future expansion.

HORIZONTAL CABLING

Cables running between access points (network sockets) and the nearest distribution points (rack cabinets), connect computers, telephones to the network.

VERTICAL CABLING

Cables connecting different floors of a building or buildings on a campus. They are used to transfer data between central distribution points.

CONSOLIDATION POINTS

Locations where horizontal and vertical cabling converge to enable data management and distribution.

DISTRIBUTION CABINETS
(SERVER RACKS)

Network devices (e.g. patchpanels, switches, routers) are installed there and cables from different parts of the building converge.

PATCHPANELS

Patchpanels enable
network cables to be connected in an orderly manner.

SWITCHES

Switches are responsible for the transfer of data between different devices on the network.
