DC Cabling Standard

Major DC Cabling Standards • In general a few………………

• For DC cabling infrastructure: – TIA/EIA-942-A: Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data

Centers – ISO/IEC 24764: Information technology - Generic cabling systems for

Data Centers – ANSI/BICSI 002-2011: Data Center Design and Implementation Best

Practices

• Specify design guidelines for implementing a generic telecommunication cabling system for the data centre.

• Specify the cabling component performance requirements and connector interfaces.

• To provide a guideline for a unified and clear structure, which supports: – Controlled and reliable functionality – Scalability – Easy and fast moves, adds and changes (MAC‟s) – Energy efficiency – Clear Documentation and Management

DC Cabling Standard

Major DC Cabling Standards

Getting Started: EN 50600-1 Business Oriented Design • Design Approach from the Business Perspective

– Execute a Business Risk Analysis – Execute a Downtime Cost Analysis – Execute an Operation Cost Analysis – Apply local rules & regulations

• Result: – Required Availability Class – Required Security Class – Required Enery Efficiency Enablement Level

• Harmonize with international standards: – Standardize on LC for 1 or 2 fibers and MPO for 3 or more fibers on a

single connector

• Higher Bandwidth Applications – Remove support for Category 3 and Category 5e for horizontal cabling,

retain for backbone cabling for console connections, telephone/modem lines, WAN circuits

– Minimum requirement of Category 6 for horizontal cabling, recommendation is Category 6A (or higher)

– Remove support for OM1 and OM2; minimum requirement is OM3; recommendation is OM4

DC Cabling Standard TIA 942-A Changes Summary

• Energy efficiency: – New section on energy efficiency – Wider range of temperature and humidity (see TIA-568-C) based on new

ASHRAE TC 9.9 guidelines (Talks of 45°C Inlet Temperatures are looming, Dell has signed up already)

– Use of enclosures or enclosure systems to improve energy efficiency (cabinets with isolated supply or return, cabinet cooling systems, hot or cold aisle containment, panels and cable management that reduce air bypass, brushes/grommets on floor tiles) White Cabinets

– 3-Level Lighting Protocol - lighting levels based on occupancy and function (1. Lighting levels are minimal when the space is not occupied - enough for video surveillance. 2. Initial entry - safe passage. 3. Occupied - 500 lux.)

– Recommend the use of energy efficient lighting such as LED


• Larger and modular data centers: – New space, Intermediate Distribution Area (IDA), containing the

Intermediate Crossconnect (IC) – IDA also being adopted in ISO/IEC 24764 in new addendum, but will be

called the Intermediate Distributor (ID)

ANSI/TIA 606-A for Labeling and Documentation

• What is ANSI/TIA/EIA-606-A? – It‟s the “Administration Standard for Commercial

Telecommunications Infrastructure”. – Approved May 16, 2002 – Purpose: “specifies administration for a generic

telecommunications cabling system that will support a multi-product, multi-vendor environment”

– Reaffirmed in June 2007

• This Standard addresses the administration of customer-owned telecommunications infrastructure by: – assigning unique identifiers to components of the infrastructure – specifying elements of information which make up records for

each identifier – specifying relationships between these records to access the

information they contain – specifying reports presenting information on groups of records – specifying graphical and symbolic requirements

Conclusion for the DC Designer in Asia

• For Data Centre Designs consider using the following:

• TIA 942-A • ISO/IEC 24764 for DC Cabling Infrastructure • ANSI/ BICSI 002 Standard on DC Best Practice • EN 50600-1 “Business Oriented Design“

Classifications • EN 50600-x “DC Infrastructures and Facilities” • ISO/IEC 14763-2 for DC Cabling Installation • IEEE for Active Hardware Protocols • TIA 606-A for Labelling and Documentation

UNDERSTANDING 10GIG CHANNEL REQUIREMENTS

When cables lie next to one another the fields from each of the pairs inside one cable effect pairs within the adjacent cable

If the pairs in both cables happen to be the same twist rate, then the effect is increased greatly.


Crosstalk between pairs in a single UTP data cables is cancelled out a few ways. 1. The twist rate between the different pairs is varied.

2. The distance between the pairs is increased.

Whilst the distance between different twist rate pairs within a single cable is maintained well, the distance between same twist rate pairs within adjacent cables is still greatly reduced in the bundle.


HOW WE ACHIEVED THE ALIEN CROSSTALK REQUIREMENTS

1. The star filler is elliptical and offset.

2. The filler keeps distance between the pairs and the cable ends.

3. The cable ellipse rotates along its length, creating a larger air footprint .

Jacket rotation

HOW WE ACHIEVED THE ALIEN CROSSTALK REQUIREMENTS

•The nesting of the cables in the bundle now maintains a much greater separation.

•The impact gives outstanding ALIEN CROSSTALK performance, as well as meeting Cat 6.

The distance between pairs is maintained in this real bundle cross section

REAL CABLE, REAL BUNDLE

The points that touch in the bundle are now related to the peaks of the filler ellipse

The sides of the ellipse, where the pairs are housed, now vault away from one another

Managed Connectivity What is it and what does it enable?

Application Partnerships Deliver Long-Term Value

The heart of the Technology A unique ID applied to network connection points enables the auto-discovery and mapping of all physical layer connection points, making important information available to upstream network management systems

What if I could Manage the Physical Layer the same as Layers 2 through 7???

1 • Layer 1 - Physical Layer

Today: Network Management solutions monitor, control and

secure layers 2 through 7

The ability to query, view and manage Layer 1 in a manner that is integrated with current network management policies

has not been possible until now

Quareo enables standard

Network Management policies to be applied to the physical

layer
