Abstract
This chapter provides an introduction to structured fiber-optic cabling systems used in voice, video, and data communication applications. Private networks deal with cabling systems within a common building. They include backbone and horizontal applications as well as the specific types of cables used in each. Intra building backbone design between main cross connect (MC) or intermediate cross-connect (IC), and the horizontal cross-connect (HC) is usually straightforward. A single hierarchical star design between the building cross-connect and the HC is strongly recommended. A specific application of data communications that utilizes both interbuilding and intrabuilding cabling systems is the data center. Communication systems are a vital part of today's corporate structure. Most companies require data communications supported by an efficiently structured and managed cabling system to support future growth.
