Data Centers Cabling

Today's data centers house a large number of diverse bandwidth-intensive devices, including bladed servers,clusteredstoragesystems,virtualizationappliances,andbackupdevices-allinterconnectedby networking equipment. These devices require physical cabling with an increasing demand for higher performance and flexibility, all of which require a reliable, scalable, and manageable cabling infrastructure.

Challenges arise not only with trying to research emerging data center cabling offerings in order to determine what you need for today and for future growth, but also with evolving cabling industry guidance, which sometimes lags in the race to deliver standards for deploying technologies such as 10 Gigabit/sec data transmissions and beyond.

The structured approach to cabling involves designing cable runs and connections to facilitate identifying cables, troubleshooting, and planning for future changes. Using a structured approach means establishing a Main Distribution Area (MDA), one or several Horizontal Distribution Areas (HDAs), and two-post racks for better access and cable management. The components selected for building the MDA and the HDA should be of good quality and able to handle anticipated and future load.

Modular cabling systems within Data Centers for fiber and copper connectivity are gaining in popularity. Modular cabling introduces the concept of plug-and-play, simplifying the installation of cables and drastically reducing labor time and costs. Cables are usually pre-terminated and tested at the factory.
