Document Summary
Identify the best practices for managing networks and cabling equipment in commercial buildings and work areas. Tia/eia created a joint cabling standard known as structured cabling that provides guidelines for uniform, enterprise-wise cabling systems, regardless of vendor. Physical layer failures can be caused by a range of issues, including poor termination, excessive bend radius, damaged cables, and emi. 110 blocks are suitable for data connections, whereas the older 66 blocks were designed primarily for telephone connections. When developing a naming convention for network devices, use the names that are as descripting as possible. But be sure to only include fields that are essential to identifying the device. Rack systems provide mounting hardware for network equipment to optimize the use of square footage in equipment rooms and ensure adequate spacing, access, and ventilation for these devices. Nas (network attached storage), which is a device optimized for saving and serving files, provides centralized fault-tolerant data storage for a network.
