Typical Fiber Infrastructure Cabling Scheme
Figure 8 shows a fiber infrastructure-cabling scheme across three floors. A fibre channel cable
(or a patch cable) connects servers to work area outlets. Horizontal fiber cable connects work area
outlets to telecommunications closets. In the telecommunications closets, horizontal and
backbone cables interconnect through fibre channel patch panels. The fiber backbone cable
connects telecommunications closets to the main distribution center.
