METZ CONNECT – Data network technology in copper and fiber optic Distributed building services Today, many PoE applications are no longer always connected to outlets in the wall, the raceway, table solutions, or floor. Increasingly, these connections are being placed in the ceiling, such as in WAPs, near doors, on presentation walls for digital signage, for instance, as well as outside of buildings on exterior walls or lantern posts. One alternative to horizontal cabling is zone ca- bling in suspended ceilings. In this case, the horizontal cabling runs from a floor distributor to a certain area...
