A horizontal distribution system consists of - correct answer. the horizontal cabling,
the horizontal pathways supporting the horizontal cabling, and the telecommunications
spaces that support the horizontal pathway. (5-1)
A horizontal cabling system may include the following elements: - correct answer.
Work area equipment cord
Work area connecting hardware:
-Telecommunications outlets/connectors
-Multiuser telecommunications outlet assemblies (MUTOAs)
Wireless access point (WAP)
Horizontal distribution cables
Horizontal cross-connect (HC [floor distributor (FD)]) connecting hardware (e.g., wiring
blocks, patch panels)
Jumpers and patch cords used to configure horizontal cabling connections at the HC
(FD)
Equipment cords at the HC (FD) typically located in the equipment room (ER)
telecommunications room (TR), or telecommunications enclosure (TE)
Additional elements (connectors that may be installed between the telecommunications
outlet and the HC [FD]):
-Transition point (TP)
-Consolidation point (CP)
(5-1)
Horizontal pathways are of one of two general types: - correct answer. Continuous
pathways (eg., conduit, cable tray, cable matting) used for containment of
telecommunications cabling.
Noncontinuous pathways (e.g., the space between cable supports [e.g., J-hooks])
through which cables are placed between physical supports or containment
components.
(5-3)
Elements such as pull boxes or splice boxes, which are used with some pathway
systems, are actually considered: - correct answer. telecommunication spaces that
provide access to horizontal cabling and its connecting hardware. (5-3)
, Generally, cabling system choices should not: - correct answer. dictate cabling
pathway choices. (5-3)
The information technology systems (ITS) distribution designer should focus first on: -
correct answer. the pathway systems design and then on the cabling system design.
(5-3)
The ITS distribution designer should ensure that the horizontal distribution system's
design: - correct answer. -Allows for the accommodation of change over the facility's
life cycle with the goal of reducing long-term maintenance and operational costs.
-Utilizes standardized cabling, components, and systems.
Includes appropriate pathway and cabling components to accommodate ease of access
and a variety of user specified technology applications.
-Meet or exceeds all codes, standards, regulation and authority having jurisdiction (AHJ)
rulings.
-Meets the requirements and utilizes any applicable standards or recommendations in
this chapter that do not conflict with applicable codes or regulations.
The horizontal cabling system is the part of the telecommunications cabling that extends
from: - correct answer. work area telecommunications outlets/connectors to the HC
(FD), typically located in the floor-serving TR. (5-5)
The horizontal cabling system consists of: - correct answer. horizontal cables,
telecommunications outlets/connectors in the work area, mechanical termination, work
area equipment cords, network equipment cords, and other patch cords or jumpers
located in the TR and may include MUTOAs and CPs. (5-5)
The horizontal cabling system should be designed in order to support various
telecommunications applications, including: - correct answer. -Voice services
-Data services
-Audio and video services.
-Building signaling systems (e.g., building automation systems [BAS], fire, security). (5-
5)
Horizontal cabling shall be installed in a: - correct answer. physical star topology. (5-5)
Each telecommunications outlet/connector shall be cabled directly to an HC (FD) in the
appropriate telecommunications space. Three exceptions to this practice are when: -
correct answer. -A CP or MUTOA is used to connect to the open office cabling.
-A TP (transition point) Is required to connect to undercarpet cabling.
-Centralized optical fiber cabling is implemented from main cross-connect (MC [campus
distributor (CD)]) to the work area(s) (5-5)
The minimum configuration is the configuration consisting of: - correct answer. 2
telecommunications outlets/connectors in the work area - one for telephony and the
