Observing the 100m standard

In order to achieve the wiring concentration standard, telecommunication rooms are placed at planned locations in a building. These telecom rooms are then interconnected to provide the total network connectivity for the building using structured cabling systems.

This can be explained in a three stories building. At one same corner of each floor, a telecom rooms is constructed; these telecom rooms are then connected by backbone wiring.

On each floor, a telecom room concentrates all workstation cables for that floor. Each workstation has a wall mounted jack. The network cable is terminated at that jack and runs directly to the telecom room. The cable may run in wire trays or conduit, or be draped over supports such as a drop ceiling. For larger floors, more than one telecom room may be needed.
