Physical Layout

Physical Layout Diagram

File:42 network drops.vsd

• Drops will have a service loop of at least 5' (Approx 2 loops)
• Bundles will be secured with velcro so that they can be modified
• The server cabinet will have its own switch to minimize cable mess between the racks
• The relay rack will need to be bolted to the floor
• Cables will be run through hooks on the ceiling or along conduit on the walls
• Since the cable supply is a mix of Cat5 and Cat5e, it will be ensured that each box has at least two runs of Cat5e
