LOCAL AREA NETWORK & WIRING SCHEME REQUIREMENTS

  - The transport speeds on the LAN will be Ethernet 10BaseT, 100BaseTX, 100BaseFX and 1000BaseSX

  - Horizontal cabling shall be Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (CAT5 UTP) and will have the capacity to accommodate 100Mb/s. Vertical (Backbone) cabling shall be multimode fiber optic cable and will have the capacity to accomodate 1000Mb/s

  - The cabling infrastructure shall comply with EIA/TIA 568 standards

  - One LAN will be designated for student/curriculum usage and another LAN will be designated for administration usage

  - A Telecommunications Closet (also called a MDF Room) will be established as the central point to which all LAN cabling will be terminated and will also be the point of presence (POP) for the Wide Area Network connection. All major electronic components for the network, such as the router and LAN switches will be housed in this location

  - Floor Distributor rooms (also called Intermediate Distribution Facility - IDF room) will be established, where horizontal cabling lengths EIA/TIA 568 recommended distances were exceeded or where site conditions dictate. In such cases, the IDF will service its geographical area and the IDF will be connected directly to the MDF in a star or extended star topology

  - Each room requiring connections to network will be able to support 25 workstations (24 student workstations and 1 teacher workstation) and be supplied with 4 CAT 5 UTP runs for data, with one run terminated at the instructor's workstation. These cable runs will be terminated in the closest MDF or IDF

LAN speeds 10BaseT, 100BaseTX, 100BaseFX and 1000BaseSX
Horizontal cabling Category 5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (CAT5 UTP)
Capacity 100 Mb/s
Vertical cabling Multimode fiber optic cable
Capacity 1000 Mb/s
Cabling standards EIA/TIA 568 A/B
Number of LANs 2 (at least)
Number of IDFs 2
Number of computers/classroom 25 (24 student's + 1 teacher's)
