Setting Up the Cabling Infrastructure
Connecting a Horizontal Link to Termination Hardware
In the physical infrastructure, this is where the horizontal link is connected to the termination
hardware. In the
HL Hardware Sequence tab, three radio buttons are available:
• No Consolidation Point: Most Horizontal Links are made with No Consolidation Point .
This is typically with a simple data connection from a faceplate in a workspace to
termination hardware (a Patch Panel or Wiring Block) in a Telecommunication Space.
•
Consolidation Point : A Consolidation Point is rarely used. However, when used, it brings
a high pair count cable from Termination Hardware in the Closet (e.g., Patch Panel or Wiring
Block) to a central location in the ceiling (e.g., column, office furniture, under the floor)
terminated in Termination Hardware.
•
Cross Connect w/CP : A Consolidation Point with Cross-Connect uses two pieces of
termination hardware to connect the large pair cable from the Closet to a small pair cable
at the Faceplate with the cross-connect in-between.
