This lecture reviews standards-based design options and installation guidelines for balanced twisted-pair copper cabling systems.
After completing this lecture, you will be able to:
- Explain copper cabling system designs using Multi-User Telecommunications Outlet Assemblies (MUTOAs).
- Explain copper cabling system designs for wireless access points.
- Describe the role of a Modular Plug Terminated Link (MPTL).
- Explain the impact of 28-gauge cords on copper cabling system design.
- Discuss design options such as shielded vs. unshielded cables, wall-mount vs. rack-mount connectivity, pre-terminated vs. punch-down termination, traceable vs. standard patch cords, and tamper-resistant vs. standard equipment outlets.
- List the installation guidelines for balanced twisted-pair copper cabling systems.
