Digital Ceiling – Tertiary cabling in the ceiling

METZ CONNECT – Digital Ceiling The use of Ethernet- & Power-over-Ethernet applications is increasing Surveillance camera he twisted pair/copper cabling and RJ45 connectors are T continuing to gain attractiveness In many buildings, similar to private residential buildings, it appears that less network cabling based on twisted-pair installation cables and RJ45 connectors is required. The connection for conventional network devices for only a data transmission is either conducted by a wireless network or replaced by fibre optic cabling. On the other hand, there are numerous current and future applications...

METZ CONNECT - Digital Ceiling The following figure shows what it's all about. On the one hand, the integration of different languages in the form of transmission protocols from proprietary solutions or different bus systems into a single uniform solution - the Ethernet-IP network. On the other hand, the combination of different transport media into a uniform, widely used twisted pair cable with RJ45 connectors.

METZ CONNECT – Digital Ceiling Relocation of the network infrastructure to the ceiling In the current office environment, most network connections are placed near the workplaces in dado ducts and floor boxes. In addition to technology-driven devices with network connectivity, the increasing performance of PoE is also making the network infrastructure increasingly attractive. Many PoE applications are no longer necessarily connected to the wall outlets, the raceway, the table solutions or the floor outlets. These connections are increasingly being moved into the ceiling, e.g. for WAPs, near doors,...

METZ CONNECT – Digital Ceiling The background is a more flexible, simpler and more cost-effective change of the cabling when moving, adding or removing end devices. The advantage lies in the shorter distances that have to be rerouted. They are more easily accessible and the intervention as well as interruption times are shorter. Considering the PoE lighting and other Ethernet and PoE applications, the coverage radius of a zone should not exceed approx. 13 m, which would therefore be a cell of approx. 18 m by 18 m. The background to this is the high number of ports used per service concentration...

METZ CONNECT – Digital Ceiling Application-specific network cabling For the current requirements with a view towards the future, the conventional network infrastructure for workplaces according to ISO/IEC 11801-2, and the cabling infrastructure could be combined via service concentration points for distributed building services according to ISO/IEC 11801-6. The following figure shows the separate, application specific cabling and cabling with service concentration point for Wi-Fi applications. Network infrastructure today Wiring legend Heating / Air Conditioning / Ventilation (HVAC) Access control...

METZ CONNECT – Digital Ceiling Complete zone cabling via the suspended ceiling A complete horizontal cabling via an SCP in the suspended ceiling could look like the depiction in the following figure. The merged applications are depicted in the network cabling through an SCP. Most applications in the ceiling could be solved as with Wi-Fi cabling and the individual workstations could be wired via cable ducts, columns or on the walls all the way up to the wall outlet. Network infrastructure in the future Multiple twisted-pair installation cables or trunk cables
