Data Center Cabling Architecture Design

Quality Cable Architecture Design requires consideration for:

  • Top-of-Rack vs. End-of-Row Aggregation
  • Field Terminated vs. Pre-Terminated Cabling
  • Inside-of-Cabinet vs. Outside-of-Cabinet Termination
  • Copper vs. Fiber Media

Data Center Design

Discovery process to properly determine the specification and requirements of this project. Areas of research will include determining the following:

  • General technology review
  • Pathways for horizontal and riser distribution
  • Horizontal telecommunications cabling requirements for both voice and data
  • Riser telecommunications requirements
  • MC & ER layout requirements to determine rack/cabinet locations and cable support/management requirements
  • Equipment rack/cabinet layouts, i.e. equipment placement, patch panel placement and wire management

Written Specification

Written Specifications for the following sections of a typical Division 17 of an AIA (American Institute of Architects) formatted Contract. All drafts will be complete related to the technical design, manufacturer’s requirements and EIA/TIA/BICSI standards pertaining to the telecommunications aspects of the project including:

  • Abbreviations and Definitions
  • General Scope of Work

Drawings

PTS engineers will submit all prints and written documents in electronic format.

The following prints are typical of a complete set:

  • Floor Telecommunication Detail – This print will show drop designations for each type of telecommunications outlet required.
  • General Notes & Symbol List – This print will have general notes regarding specific conditions and stipulations of the installation and will also show a legend for telecommunications symbols used on prints.
  • Wall Plate Configurations – This print will show all variations of wall plate configurations as references by the telecommunications symbols.
  • Riser Drawing – This print will represent the riser requirements for voice and data between floors and will show pathways, cable types and appropriate sizing.
  • MC (Main Cross-Connect) – This print will be the layout of the MC room. The print will show racks/cabinets positioning, any cable support necessary such as ladder racking, any wall boards to be installed and riser entrance points.
  • ER (Equipment Room) – This print will be the layout of the ER room. The print will show racks/cabinets positioning, any cable support necessary such as ladder racking, any wall boards to be installed and riser entrance points.
  • Rack/Cabinet Elevations – This print will show elevation details for the general layout of the racks/cabinets as pertaining to the telecommunications needs of this project.
