Generic cabling is one of the key links of information network system. In order to ensure the high-speed and stable operation of information network system, it is particularly important to select high-quality and high-performance cables.
The cable selection should be based on the system requirements, technical performance, investment estimates and other factors, but in the wiring system, it should first determine the type of cable used and the structure of wiring (unshielded cable, shielded cable, optical cable or mixed use). Cables usually use Aluminum conductors with insulation and one or more layers of plastic sheath. The cable usually consists of 2 to 3600 pairs. Large logarithmic cables are usually used in backbone cabling systems and are suitable for voice and low rate data transmission. The maximum lengths of these cables for trunk and horizontal (hub to desktop) cabling systems are specified in the latest GB 50311-2007. It should be noted that these maximum length limits apply to all media. They do not consider the impact of performance differences due to different cable types and protocol types used in the network. In fact, the maximum cable length will depend on the application of the system, the type of network and the quality of the cable.
Method of cable selection in generic cabling system
Since it is a building, it will definitely use a lot of communication cables. As the nervous system of intelligent building, generic cabling system is the key part and infrastructure of intelligent building. It has a very close relationship with the planning and design, construction, installation and maintenance of construction engineering. It is like an information superhighway in the building. People can communicate and communicate conveniently, quickly and effectively. It can be said that the generic cabling system connects the communication, computer and various facilities and equipment in the intelligent building to form a complete set of whole, so as to meet the requirements of highly intelligent.
But then we have to consider a problem: fire prevention. Once a fire breaks out in the building, the heat and gas released by these cables will become a major safety hazard. Looking at several large-scale fire accidents in China in recent years, many of them are due to the fact that the victims can’t escape. The burning of cables emits poisonous acid gas. In addition, a lot of heat and smoke are released from the combustion, which makes it difficult for the victims to breathe and lead to tragedies. Therefore, in addition to considering the performance, fire protection and environmental protection are also very important reference factors when we select cables for generic cabling system.
