The only component that needs further explanation here is the consolidation point.
This can be incorporated into a horizontal cabling design where cabling density is
significant or where excessive configuration management activities are required due to
staff or equipment movements. This element can be compared with the final distribution
point or FDP used in block cabling distribution for voice services.
This approach is developing acceptance across the market but there are few vendors that
offer a range of consolidation point solutions that are included within the vendor
certification process. This item will be highlighted in the next section and may become a
pivotal element in the overall generic cabling design for the intelligent building.
1.1.1 Cabling Medium
Cabling medium used by the communications industry include:
-Unshielded Twisted Pair (Copper)
-Optical Fibre (62.5/125 um or 50/125um )

architectures such as the 2.5 Mbps ArcNet system.
Today, with the move to internationally driven Open Standard (Seven-Layer Network
model) by the International Standards Organisation (ISO) as represented by the Open
Systems Forum (OSF), has seen the move toward interoperability onto today’s minimum
network standard, 10Mbps Ethernet.

implement a fully structured environment then the Building Services Consultants may
assist in specifying a general area for the majority of the intelligent control devices.
STEP-3 Determine Cable Medium requirements.
The cabling medium considered as standard for voice and data applications include:
• 62.5/125 or 50/125um Fibre multi-mode Fibre cable
• Single Mode Fibre Cable
• Enhanced Category 5 ( Cat.5e ) multi pair copper cable
The cabling used for the Control Wiring will be defined within each application solution
detailed below. However as a general guideline the intent will be to minimise the cabling
types used to 3 cables. These being
• Fibre (where appropriate)
• 4 pair Enhanced Category 5 ( Cat.5e ) Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
• and Figure 8 (FIG 8) or equivalent for Extra Low Voltage (ELV) power and Public
Address backbone cabling requirements.
STEP-4 Installation
A KRONE endorsed/certified installer would then proceed to install the cabling
requirements. Regular discussions with the Service Application Provider and site co-
ordinator will ensure correct location of cables with cable pair terminations on allocated
modules and connection boxes.
STEP-5 Cabling Commissioning and certification
• Assign pairs
• Jumpering

in today’s Control System configurations. These devices shall be connected utilising
multiple 4 pair Enhanced Category 5 ( Cat.5e ) cable to wall outlets, star configured from
within a centrally designated facility managed environment. A horizontal cable distance
limitation of 90m from Central Hub applies. These services shall be connected to the
Horizontal Service Connection Point on the Floor Distributor and jumpered to the
appropriate Connection Point for end to end connectivity.
Because some Operator Workstations may require a remote location from the central
management area, it may be necessary to run through the Backbone Service Connection
Point to achieve this.
Application Services:
The Application Service Connection Point will enable connectivity of Application Specific
Controller (ASC) Input/Output (I.O) relay contacts to perform added functions from these
devices.
TIER 2-Distributed Architecture Intelligent Device Connectivity
Backbone Service cabling provides connectivity though KRONE’s Building/Floor
Distributors to remote Application Specific Controllers located throughout the building.
These intelligent controllers will be star connected (logical bus) back to the nearest
KRONE Floor Distributor and terminated onto the Application Service Connection Point.
All Floor Distributors will be star configured to the Building Distributor (master panel).
As a design rule it is suggested that 6 by 4 pair Enhanced Category 5 ( Cat.5e ) cables be
installed in the Backbone Service to each Floor Distributor to achieve a balance of meeting
today’s connectivity needs with a level of future proofing for adds moves and changes of
tomorrow.
A maximum cabling distance for TIER 2 cabling will apply. Whilst it varies slightly between
manufacturers equipment it is generally in the order of 1500m. When connected as a
physical star and logical bus the real distance between devices is limited. The number of
intelligent devices connected to each logical bus is also limited and dependent upon
manufacturer (From 32 and up to 50 units). This will be clarified in the Application Service
Provider’s specifications.
Should a requirement exist to interconnect devices between Floor Distributors then cabling

As a rule of thumb it is suggested that a floor area be divided into three or four distribution
zones and with typical floor areas having an area of 2000m
2
it is suggested that these
zones cover up to 650-700m
2
each.
The diagrams in section 3.0 depict high-level connectivity, the detailed jumpering
approach, connectivity to multiple Application Specific Controller (ASC) devices from one
Floor Distributor and specific pair utilisation when connecting these devices as a bus.
Exact pair requirements will depend on the individual devices, 4pr cables connecting these
devices will be used for communications and other required functions. As a convention
the first pair should be reserved for the main communications feed between TIER 1 and
TIER 2 devices.
Horizontal Services:
Sensors and end devices will be connected with Enhanced Category 5 ( Cat.5e ) 4pr
cables wired back to the nearest Floor Distributor Horizontal Service Connection Points. It
will cover all TIER 3 elements. Where necessary these cables shall include approved
connection boxes for termination points of stranded conductor tails to the end devices.
Cabling Medium:
The cabling used for the Control Wiring is detailed as follows:
• Fibre (where appropriate)
• 4 pair Enhanced Category 5 ( Cat.5e) UTP
• and Figure 8 or equivalent for ELV power .
