Horizontal cabling
The current horizontal cabling will not suffice for the new network design and hence a different cabling is anticipated. In this case, a larger network is designed and the appropriate cable is fiber. Fiber is most preferred because it has long distance capability and high bandwidth. According to TIA 568, two multimode fibers are preferred. The first one is 62.5/125 (OM1) fiber cable which is suitable until network speeds exceed 1Gb/s. The second one is 50/125 OM2 or OM3 laser optimized cable with a higher bandwidth compatible with all fiber equipment. OM3 50/125 will be used for gigabit networks ...
