Structural cables are a unified method for organizing and managing network cables in a data center. It connects servers, switches and other devices through an organized planning that ensures reliable performance and ease of expansion. Whenever it is properly finished, the design of the structured cables allows databases to expand its scope.
A regulator cable system consists of specific contact points and distribution areas. It supports high -speed connections such as Eternet and Fiber Optics, reduces congestion, and simplifies maintenance. It is an organized alternative to a point cable to a decentralized point.
Main components
Distribution areas
Entrance room The point where the external network services are connected to the data center.
Main distribution area (MDA) The central axis where basic network equipment is located, such as the main routers and keys.
Horizontal distribution area (HDA) – The section in which the switches are distributed to individual shelves and server.
Equipment distribution area (EDA) – The final point where the equipment is connected, such as servers and storage devices, with the network.
Types of cables
Spine cables – It connects different sections of the data center, connecting the MDA room, HDA, and the entry room.
Horizontal cables – It extends from HDA to the shelves and equipment in EDA.
Equipment cables and correction ropes – Short cables connecting devices inside the shelves.

Principles of organized cable design in data centers
The principles of organized cables that allow the organization of excellent cables in databases are:
Hierarchy
Cable structure from top to bottom.
MDA It is the central axis, distribution on it HDAS And then Edas.
Entrance room The data center connects to the external networks.
Division of expansion
Each area has a specific function to reduce bottlenecks. There is no area to do two tasks at the same time.
Standard correction panels and normative fiber tapes are used in MDAS and HDAS to allow easy expansion and reinstall.
MDA It includes basic routers and separates high -motifist spine connections.
HDA Distributing contacts on translated shelves.
Eda It only connects the end user equipment to prevent congestion.
The actual chapter of cable types
Data cables and power cables use separate ways to avoid EMI.
Alawite trays or underground channels keep cable regulation.
Cross communications and correction plates (intermediate contact points for orientation and network cables management) allows easy redirect.
Repetition and tolerance with errors
Double MDA Etisalat Prevent individual failure points.
Multiple HDAS Distribute the load to reduce the effect if one fails.
Excess cable tracks Preventing damage to damage.
Unified lengths and connections
Cables in organized cables
1, Fiberial Fiber Cable
Plastic fibers (OS1, OS2)
Better for long -distance transportation.
Used in spine connections and buildings.
Supports speed up to 400 GB per second For long distances.
Multiple fiber (om3, om4, om5)
It has been improved for shorter distances within the data center.
Used in horizontal distribution and high -speed applications.
Support om3 and om4 10-100 GB per second Rapids, support om5 Higher and SWDM (multi -transmission in the wave section) To transfer the most efficient data.
2. Copper cables (horizontal connections and equipment)
CAT5E (5E ETHERNET CAB)
CAT6 (6 category Cable Eternet)
CAT6A (Class 6 Mudha)
The improved shielding to reduce overlap (EMI).
Support 10 GB per second in 100 m Distances.
It is used in highly frequent domain applications such as virtual simulation, large data and cloud computing.
CAT7 and Cat8
Top performance with better shielding.
Cat7 Support 10 GB per second until 100 m.
Cat8 Support 25-40 GB per secondUsed in high -speed data centers.
3. The classified cables
Named CMP (Communications Communications) for copper cables and OFNP (Non -connected optical fibers) for fiber cables.
Available in Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, Cat7, and optical fibers.
Required in Lebleing Lenums, high floors, returning air spaces where fire extinguishing symbols apply.
In Nassau National Cable, we offer copper and aluminum cables that are smoothly suitable for the infrastructure of a data center with organized cables.
