Introduction
This document has been compiled primarily to detail the KRONE PremisNET C
3
Solution for the structured cabling of Intelligent Buildings. Telecommunications
have already adopted this concept as part of the building’s infrastructure for
voice and data. This is one of the major reasons why buildings are thought of as
being dynamic.
Telecommunications is more than just voice and data. Telecommunications takes
in many other building systems including Climate Control for heating, ventilation,
and air conditioning, Lighting Management for increasing efficiency costs,
Security for access control, surveillance and intruder alert monitoring, and Audio

1.2 Building Management Systems:
1.2.1Background:
Building Management Systems (BMS) products, like most technology products,
had their development enhanced through the US space race of the 1960’s. We
saw in the early 70’s, building management system manufacturers develop
products to be used in ‘centralised’ computer system architecture.
Centralised control systems deliver functionality and depend on user
connectivity through the horizontal and backbone sub systems to one location
where all equipment is centralised. These systems were developed with product
specialists and technology experts in mind and were far from user friendly to the

1.2.2 Building Management Systems, Service Applications
The main service applications that make up an integrated building management
system includes:
• Climate Control
-Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning Systems (HVAC). Automation
of these systems require central plant controllers and Individual
room or zone controllers
• Lighting Control:

2.1 Introduction
The KRONE PremisNET C
3
Solution uses multiple Floor Distributors strategically
placed onto each floor to capture all Building Management System (BMS) Service
Applications.
This option employs fixed wiring and provides added flexibility to connect and
disconnect at the Application and Backbone Service Connection Point of these
strategic Floor Distributor panels. This solution enables common delivery of
cabling whilst ensuring connectivity and segregated management of wiring with
respect to the voice and data cabling management solution. Therefore it
presents a solution to cover any and all Service Applications requiring standards
based connectivity and most applications requiring proprietary connectivity.
The following sections will work through each of the main BMS Service
Applications listed in section 2.2, detailing and defining the approach to
connectivity of these systems. Before detailing these connectivity solutions it is
necessary to define the process or steps which should be followed before moving
forward with the final cabling design.
2.2 Planning Considerations
STEP-1 Identify locations of all of the Telecommunications and Control Devices
including their associated end devices
The quantities and locations of these elements shall be defined and updated
onto a communications layer of an architectural drawing. All applications
including voice and data should be included in this design. This information can
be obtained from relevant specifiers, such as the communications consultant;

-Camera’s, including pan tilt zoom functions
-Speakers and zoning
-Microphones
-TV monitors
-Intercoms
This information will assist in determining the quantity of Floor Distributors and
other cabling infrastructure required to design the final cabling solution.
The Fire Alarm System (FAS) has been excluded from this Intelligent Cabling
Solution.
The FAS requires special fire rated MIMS or equivalent cabling to Warden
Intercom Points, and standards do vary around the world.
However the Public Address cabling which interfaces with the Fire and
Evacuation Systems is included.
STEP-2 Determine the best location for Floor Distributors and Building
Distributors and develop backbone and horizontal cabling distribution
design
This activity will impact the overall cost of cabling and cabling support
infrastructure requiring both labour and materials.
The architects or building owner will generally incorporate a main
communications room and service room or zone for the establishment of a
managed communications environment.
Sufficient space (both wall and floor) shall be allowed for the cabling
management frames and cabinets.

Structured Cabling System
The KRONE PremisNET C

Solution has adopted a tiered hierarchy structure to
simplify the understanding of the cabling hierarchy. The cabling requirements
for these systems will in general be divided into three tiers of cabling. We will
call these:

TIER 1-Management Systems Connectivity
Management Systems address the Facility management, Operator management
and Network management modules, which are typical of the Network Controller
devices seen in today’s Control System configurations. These devices shall be
connected utilising multiple 4 pair Category 5 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.

Solution 23
This option is not the preferred approach as it provides a mesh-based saturation
cabling system, which is costly to manage.
Backbone Services:
The Backbone Service will enable the TIER 2 elements to be connected to the
Network Controller. The Backbone Connection Points of Floor Distributors will
enable this connectivity using multiple 4 pair Category 5 cables.
TIER 3 End Device Connectivity
TIER 3 cabling covers the end device cabling requirements. The list of end
devices such as temperature sensors, security sensors and speakers are covered
in section 2.2, STEP 1, Planning Considerations. Each end device will utilise
individual 4 pair category 5 cables fed back to the nearest Floor Distributor
Horizontal Connection Point. These services will be either jumpered to an
Application Service Connection Point or a Backbone Service Connection Point
dependent on the functions required by the specification or systems supplier.
The 90 metre distance limitations as defined by ISO 11801, will apply to
Horizontal Services connected to each Floor Distributor.
Any Input/Output functions provided by the intelligent controller would be
jumpered between the Horizontal and Application Connection Points.
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.

also interfaces to TIER 1 management services and local TIER 3 end devices.
Floor Distributors provide TIER 3 interconnectivity to end devices and provides
connectivity for TIER 2 Backbone Service interface.

Solution 23
The Building Distributor panel is physically identical to the Floor Distributor
panel. It is the location and utilisation of the Distributor panel that determines
its identification as a Building or Floor Distributor. There should only be one
Building Distributor panel in each building, however there can be multiple Floor
Distributors on each building level.

Labelling standard
The labeling and record keeping of connections in any wired installation is very
important for its maintenance, additions and changes. The Krone PremisNET C
3
Solution for structured cabling of intelligent buildings is no exception. The
integration of so many individual service applications, traditionally dependant on
proprietary wiring systems, has made the
PremisNET C

labeling standard an integral part of the over all structured cabling
system.

Note: The connection point orientation is from top to bottom and left to right.
Within the Building and Floor Distributor the following naming convention
applies.
Building Distributor (BD): The Building Distributor panel (Master Panel) should
duplicate the Floor Distributor panel. To allow the
connection of Building Management Systems that
require voice carrier network access the Building
Distributor panel should be located adjacent to the
main communications distribution equipment.
Therefore we recommend the following. Building
