Backbone cabling is a strong cabling system that’s great for large facilities.
The backbone or riser is an integral part of a structured cabling system in a large facility or campus environment. This type of cabling system works to connect telecommunications rooms, equipment rooms, main terminal spaces, and entrance facilities with a series of backbone cables, intermediate and main cross-connects, mechanical terminations, and patch cords or jumpers for backbone-to-backbone cross-connections where the efficient exchange of information is necessary.
How a Backbone Cabling System is Installed
When we install a backbone cabling system, we make sure to do it right. A backbone cabling system is a large and complicated project; any mistake made in the installation could result in big fixes down the road. That’s why we make sure to do it right the first time. Here are a few things we take into consideration during installation:
- Backbone cabling is installed in a star topology. This is a very specific installation configuration that differs from other setups.
- The backbone is connected to a main and an intermediate level of cross-connects. No more than these two levels can be made in a backbone system. For high bandwidth capability, we use uninterrupted runs of fiber optic cabling.
- We’ll assess your facility to determine which type of backbone cable will work most efficiently for you. There are several types of backbone cables that all have different strengths and applications.
