Good data center cabling system design

Data center in a limited area concentrated a large number of electronic devices, so you need to effectively organization space, in order to meet the needs of the constant growth and change. Space set includes aspects: power supply and the entry of the external network connection, HVAC (HVAC, sometimes also called mechanical facilities), network management center, communication room, office, redundant power supplies, computer room, etc. They also include racks, cabinets, precise control air conditioning equipment, etc. The placement of these devices need to consider the efficient use of space and security isolation.
Due to the highly concentrated within the data center equipment, the supporting infrastructure in data centers have special requirements, the resulting wire congestion can be very serious. Most of the equipment operation will produce thousands of watts of heat, so have a high request for cooling. Considering the large data centers with hundreds of frame assembly, detailed plan and careful plane planning is particularly important.
Overhead floor by stents, communications cable slot suspension under the floor, the floor next to set aside space for air circulation. Rack and cabinet installed in raised floor, floor bottoms are equipped with hot and cold air passages. For more stable safety between frame and concrete ground by screw brace - this is the 1st level or the need to more advanced seismic belt. Top of the rack is the lighting and extinguishing system, if necessary, include additional wire frame.
Communication cable generally under hot air passage of the trough, and within the scope of the system to allow as much as possible close to the floor. When some installer will go trough installed directly on the top of the frame, communication cables can also be placed in high space. Considering the increase in demand, trough the design ability of no more than 40% to meet the demand of the current, the other used to extend, because online slot placed in cable is easier than replace full trough.
In order to optimize the cooling effect, the adjacent two columns in the rack/cabinet equipment face to face or back to back installation, two columns of frame/cold/hot air channel is formed between cabinets. Devices are facing the cooling channel, computer room precision air conditioning system (CRAC) produced by the cold air through the punch into the floor of the cooling channels, equipment through the fan, will air conditioning pumps in the cooling channel. While the hot air from the back of the equipment to the hot air channel, and flows into the hot air of air conditioning system in the inlet of the end of an aisle.
Data center of integrated wiring topology based on TIA - 568 - b and other international standards, and is suitable for data center so that more concentrated did improve environment. Usually, the horizontal cabling area as two main cable between types, levels and the dividing point between the trunk. Integrated wiring, including the distribution frame, the terminal module, fast jumper wire and cable. Must want to stress is that these components should be regarded as a whole system, all components are designed to provide maximum capacity and performance.
Data center of integrated wiring USES the star topology structure, high-speed signal introduced by the trunk and assign the level of the relatively small and short period. Horizontal wiring distribution frame panel extends from horizontal cabling area, put an end to the frame of the equipment. The main wiring by the horizontal cabling area extends to the line to line. There is a kind of main wiring extension type called centralized trunk, can be used for long distance high-speed connection.
Aimed at the characteristics of data center, horizontal cable can use Cat6 balanced twisted-pair or 50 祄 multimode fiber. If your system need 10 gb/s right now, the United States kombucha SYSTIMAX LazrSPEED optimization of multimode optical fiber laser is the best choice. If it is possible to need copper port 10 gb/s this kind of situation, the kombucha SYSTIMAX GigaSPEED X10D UTP Wan Zhao copper solution can meet the current needs and can achieve a smooth upgrade. For high density optical fiber applications, can use the kombucha SYSTIMAX InstaPATCH Plus cable system in the process of the termination.
