1. ANSI/TIA-568 structured cabling standards describe uniform, enter- prise-wide cabling systems regardless of who manufac- tures or sells the various
... [Show More] parts used in the system. 2. EF (entrance fa- cility) 3. Demarc (demar- cation point) 4. MDF (main distri- bution frame) location where the incoming network (such as Internet) connects with the school or corporate network the device that marks where a telecommunications ser- vice provider's network ends and the organization's net- work begins the centralized point of interconnection for an organiza- tion's LAN or WAN (also called MC or main cross connect) 5. Data room an enclosed space that hold network equipment (also called data closet, data center, equipment room, or telecommunications room) 6. Rack holds various network equipment 7. Patch panel a panel of data receptors which can be mounted to a wall or a rack 8. VoIP (Voice over IP) 9. IDF (intermedi- ate distribution frame) s the use of any network to carry voice signals using TCP/IP protocols provides an intermediate connection between the MDF and end-user equipment on each floor and in each build- ing 10. Patch cable a relatively short length of cabling with connectors at both ends 11. Horizontal ca- bling 12. Backbone ca- bling connects workstations to the closest data room and to switches housed in the room consists of cables or wireless links that provide inter- connection between the entrance facility and MDF and between MDF and IDFs 13. Termination when terminating twisted-pair cabling, don't leave more than 1 inch of exposed cable before a termination 14. Bend radius do not exceed the cable's prescribed bend radius, which is the radius of the maximum arc into which you can loop a cable without impairing data transmission 15. Continuity use a cable tester to verify that each cable segment trans- mits data reliably 16. Cable coverings and conduits avoid laying cables across a floor and use cord covers if they must be exposed 17. EMI sources install cable at least 3 feet away from fluorescent lights or other sources of EMI (electromagnetic interference) 18. Plenum cabling if running cable in the plenum (the area above the ceiling tile or below subflooring), make sure the cable sheath is plenum-rated 19. Network map- ping the process of discovering and identifying the devices on a network 20. Nmap one of the most popular tools used for network mapping 21. Zenmap Nmap's GUI option 22. System life cycle (SLC) 23. RFP (request for proposal) 24. MOU (memoran- dum of under- standing) 25. SOW (statement of work) is the process of designing, implementing, and maintain- ing an entire network is a request to vendors to submit a proposal for a product or service your company wants to purchase documents the intentions of two or more parties to enter into a binding agreement, or contract documents in detail the work that must be completed for a particular project 26. SLA (service-lev- el agreement) is a legally binding contract or part of a contract that defines the aspects of a service provided to a customer• 27. MSA (master ser- is a contract that defines the terms of future contracts vice agreement) between parties 28. MLA (master li- grants a license from a creator, developer, or producer to cense agree- a third party for the purposes of marketing or sublicensing, ment) or distributing the product to consumers 29. Fiber-Optic Ca- A form of cable that contains one or several glass or plastic ble fibers in its core. Data is transmitted via a pulsing light sent from a laser or LED (light-emitting diode) through the central fiber or fibers. 30. Keyboard, video, A device that connects the equipment in a rack to a single and mouse console to provide a central control portal for all devices (KVM) switch on the rack. [Show Less]
