Build Your Own Fiber Optic Network Like A Professional Network Engineer
by Colin Yao What does an enterprise fiber optic network consist of?
The basic philosophy of modern LAN wiring is the concept of structured cabling. The entire networking system is broken up into chunks that allow workstation wires to be concentrated.
In a typical enterprise LAN system, the fiber optic network consists of telecommunication rooms, backbone wiring, work areas horizontal wiring.
Let’s illustrate this with a 3 stories building.
On each floor, there will be a telecommunication room sitting on top of each other. These telecommunication rooms hold all network equipment such as routers, servers and switches. Telecommunication rooms are linked together with fiber optic passing through vertical shafts which are called backbone wiring/cabling or vertical wiring/cabling.
The backbone fiber optic Cables typically run at 10Gbps Ethernet speed to provide enough bandwidth for the whole enterprise.
