2.1.5 Network connection technology

1 Determine the mode of installation.

• Cable routes and cable channels

• Additional protective measures against mechanical damage

2 Determine the cabling requirements.

• Standards

• Transmission rates: the requirements for shielding and number of wires

change according to transmission rate.

• Cable lengths

• Electromagnetic requirements (MICE): the sheath-material and shielding

requirements depend on these.

3 Determine the connector requirements

• Standards

• Transmission rates: this gives the required connector class (Cat. 5, 6

) and

also the connector type.

• Cable requirements: depending on the cable, certain connector

requirements have to be met (shield connection, external diameter, possible

wire insulation and wire diameter).

• Electromechanical requirements (MICE): this results in the requirements for

shielding and protection degree.

• Size

4 Select additional connecting components:

• Patch distributor

• Media converter

• Converter from a solid to exible conductor (e.g., terminal rail outlets)
