How to optimize Cabling System Management

With the popularization of networks in people's work and life, the application of integrated wiring systems has become more and more extensive. However, according to industry statistics in recent years, up to 70% of network faults are related to the wiring system! At the same time, with the continuous development of enterprises, the network and wiring systems are becoming increasingly large, but still do not feel enough. Why is the network operating efficiency decreasing with the increase of running time? Are network maintenance personnel not professional enough? Or are network and wiring installers not properly planned? Of course not. Based on the industry's long history and successful project experience, Molex enterprise cabling and network department has come up with the following solutions to optimize cabling system management.

1. Establish a good identification system

In modern smart buildings, frequent changes to the network environment make the network grow from clean to disordered. If there is no logo or an improper logo is used, the end user will have to pay a higher maintenance fee to solve the connection node problem. A good identification system not only shortens the system interruption time for each system change, but also records the changes for future maintenance.

TIA/EIA-606 commercial construction telecommunications infrastructure management standards) on the wiring identification system made provisions and recommendations. The establishment and maintenance of the marking system must be carried out throughout the construction, use and maintenance of the wiring system. Five components of the cabling system must be identified: cables, channels, spaces, end devices, and splices.

The cables are identified at both ends of the cables.

The channel should mark the obvious mark at intervals, indicating the entrance and purpose.

All spaces must be marked. We recommend that you sign in at the entrance of each space.

End-to-end devices include work area panel, jumper, connector or distribution frame, distribution frame and panel logo usage is high, consider wear resistance and expansion.

Each joint termination should be marked with an identifier.

Take the workspace identification system as an example, as shown in.

On this basis, the wiring system management plan and documents should be established during installation project acceptance. Management Documents should meet the 4C principles, namely Clear), Concise), Consistent), Common Sense ).

Molex cabling products pay great attention to the 4C principles of identification. The Panel provides application and port identification for flexible replacement and removal. The aperture is reserved on the module, add application port icon data, voice, blank); Distribution Frame provides front and back labels, front labels are in the form of transparent label folder, can be freely removed and replaced, it is especially suitable for environments with frequent network structure changes.

Ii. Improve system space utilization

The diversity of network applications makes the network system large and the number of devices in the corresponding cabling system gradually increases. It is vital to improve the space utilization of the system within a limited space.

In recent years, diagonal line distribution frames have been designed for projects with limited space. The diagonal angle design enables the right jumper bending radius in the rack to minimize horizontal management requirements and provides an ideal solution for high-density applications. The patch cord has a natural escape angle from the distribution frame, so it does not require horizontal management, eliminating horizontal cable management costs and related labor costs, in addition, the rack space required by the plug-in is almost halved. The diagonal distribution frame also provides a very clean and professional wiring solution to avoid the possible "spaghetti-style leads" in the large cat6 distribution frames.

In addition to the above advantages, the Molex diagonal distribution frame also has its own characteristics. The diagonal distribution frame has a distribution frame port that can be separately disassembled. It adopts a patented dust cover supported by spring to prevent incomplete insertion and prevent dust and impurities from entering the port. The two-color code supports the 568A/B line sequence, and the RJ45 distribution frame port is compatible with limit 11.

In short, the optimal management of cabling systems requires the wisdom and experience of managers. With international management standards and products with unique advantages, your cabling systems can always be efficient and clean!
