    DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

    UNIT CODE: DIT 2207 UNIT TITLE: STRUCURED CABLING AND DATA COMMUNICATION

    NAME: LEWIS KYALO WAMBUA REG NO : DIT/2021/85375

    a) Define the following terms as used in structured cabling


    i. Structured cabling----complete system of cabling and hardware which provides a
    comprehensive telecommunications infrastructure
    ii. Network design ---the practice of planning and designing a communication
    network
    iii. Network documentation--=the practice of maintaining records about networks of
    computers
    iv. Backbone cabling---cabling that delivers interconnection between entrance
    facilities, equipment rooms and telecommunication rooms
    b) Briefly explain the following ethernet specifications

    10GBASE-T IEEE 1---is a group of computer networking technologies for


    transmitting Ethernet frames at a rate of 10 gigabits per second.

    100BASE-TIEEE---is an enhanced form of Ethernet 10BASE-T and a network


    standard used for fast data transfer rates up to 100 Mbps.

    1000BASE-T IEEE--- 1000BASE-T (also known as IEEE 802.3ab) is a standard for Gigabit
    Ethernet over copper wiring.
    1000BASE-LX IEEE--- is a type of standard for implementing Gigabit Ethernet
    networks.

    1000BASE-SX IEEE----  an optical fiber Gigabit Ethernet standard for operation over
    multi-mode fiber using a 770 to 860 nanometer, near infrared (NIR) light
    wavelength.
    c) List any five cable installation guidelines
     Cable should be pre-cut and hung suspended for 48 hours
     Cable should be installed with, not against, its natural set
     Strain relief on either end will reduce conductor breakage at the flex points
     If cables of varying diameters are being installed, utilize interior shelving or separators
     Ensure every cable has room to move freely during movement of the cable carrier
    d) Explain what network planning entails
     Network planning is an iterative process, composed of topological design, network-
    synthesis, and network-realization
     The main aim is to ensure that a new telecommunications network or service mees
    the needs of the subscriber and operator.
    e) Explain the network connectivity determinants
     Network centralizer
     Location
     Data transfer technology
     Network technology and terminal device
     Several operators provide a free speed test for their customers
    f) Discuss the four fundamental network design goals
     Scalability: the ability of a network to grow and handle increased traffic
     Redundancy: having multiple paths for data to travel and backup systems in place in
    case of failure
     Resilience: able to withstand failures and unexpected outages without coming to a
    complete standstill
     Security: security is always a top concern when it comes to network
    g) Discuss network capacity planning stages
     Measure current utilization and identify problems
     Customize capacity threshold metrics
     Estimate future capacity requirements
     Plan future network capacity needs
     SolarWinds network performance monitor
