This document discusses structured cabling systems and LAN architecture. It covers common standards for premises cabling, including ISO 11801 and TIA/EIA-568. The three layer hierarchical model is described, with campus backbone, building backbone, and horizontal cabling. Horizontal cabling can use either two, three, or four connector models. Basic design rules are outlined, such as a maximum horizontal cable length of 90 meters and 2000 meters for total cable runs. Categories of cabling applications and their maximum distances are also detailed.

For every 1000m of USEABLE office space, there MUST be an FD. If a floor is SPARSELY populated, then the cables can be fed from the FD either above or below this floor.

The function of BD and FD may be combined depending on the layout.
