Converged Cabling: Data, Video, BAS and Beyond Valerie Maguire, BSEE
Beyond structured cabling Cabling becomes an asset when it can: Reduce costs Simplify application deployment Enhance the workplace experience Integrate low-voltage building needs Increase efficiency
Imagine these scenarios Workspace comes alive Integrated detectors, cameras, video feeds, and alerts Safety, evacuation, and shutdowns are enabled BAS services are aeip-enabled, ed, upgradeable, and supported in cramped pathways
Converged cabling: what is it? A structured cabling solution that features proven technology and integrates: Voice Data Video Audio Wireless BAS Access and Lighting Fire and Security Others
Robust and flexible technology Primarily supported by categories 5e, 6, 6A, and 7 A Eliminates the need for proprietary cabling Supports PoE and PoE Plus applications Optical fiber solutions may be deployed if consideration is given to remote powering
True network management Systems can be linked to the data network IP-enabled devices can be monitored and managed Simplified infrastructure management Reduced complexity Facilitates energy management Enhances security
LAN cabling connections Integration Software LAN cabling extends Directly to IP- enabled devices with RJ-45 s, or LAN cabling To controllers that connect to multiple Controller IP-camera BAS devices with Low voltage cabling low voltage cabling BAS devices
Asset control One integrated cabling system enables real-time control of assets Supports the following initiatives: Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) HIPPA ISO 17799 code of information security
Supports green buildings Supports all areas of efficiency Reduced labor Rapid deployment Fewer unused pairs Intelligent building system control to increase efficiency/reduce waste
Reduced unused pair count Most low-voltage Phone applications over CCTV one or two pairs resulting in CATV unused pairs Cable sharing supports multiple lowspeed, high-density applications over one 4-pair category 7 A /class F A channel Valuable pathways space is made available Intercom
Rapid deployment/reduced labor One provider installs and services all lowvoltage, voice, and data applications MAC work is simplified (15% cost savings) Redundancy associated with separate pathways is eliminated
Reduced construction costs Pathway Material 1 million ft 2 hospital facility Data/low-voltage cabling 40% less pathways 1 16% reduction in cabling Cabling and pathway labor 31% reduction in labor Total Savings - $0 $2 million $4 million $2,931,170total 10.5% of project Conventional IP-based 1 - Innovative Engineering Solutions, LLC 2 - CABA *Case study data courtesy of Sinopoli and Associates
Reduced operational costs Building costs are highest during the operation phase Operational costs account for nearly 50% of a building s TCO Construction costs only account for 11% Green buildings can reduce energy use by up to 70%
Benefits of zoned cabling Ease of deployment Facilitates the use of trunking cables Improved pathway utilization MAC work Costs less Is faster and less disruptive
Zone boxes Zone Enclosure Zone boxes may be located: In a raised floor Within furniture Wall-mounted In the ceiling Zone boxes should be HCP Enclosure limited to supporting 12 48-port zone box equipment or work area outlets
Zone box location Zone box location can be based upon guidance provided in ISO/IEC 24704 for wireless access point positioning A coverage area radius of 12 meters is generally recommended

Surveillance & broadband video Surveillance CCTV: closed circuit Analog and IP-based Broadband video Typically up to 900 MHz Television (CATV, Satellite) Off-air/in-house transmission DVD and VCR playback HDMI, VGA, and others
Market analysis According to Frost & Sullivan, the IP/networked video surveillance market will grow go from US$435.8 358 million in 2005 to US$6.48 billion in 2012! Market growth is over 4x the rate of the overall surveillance market
Why use IT cabling for video? Applications are getting smart! IP-addressable interfaces On-demand, interactive, and high-definition viewing More secure and flexible than analog Digital recording Better image quality Smaller cabling diameter Lower TCO
Video over twisted-pair Supported by 100-m, 4-connector channels* IP-enabled devices offer RJ-45 interfaces Baluns used to convert 75 Ω coaxial to100 Ω balanced signals and vice versa
Common balun interfaces Baluns are application specific 2 baluns are required per channel Baluns may be integrated into category 7 A patch cords Type BNC Type F Integrated
Video surveillance Simple to deploy Consist of: Cameras Recording device Monitoring i device Analog and IP-based systems are available Well-suited for twisted-pair
Analog video surveillance Analog camera Video baluns are required A DVR is required PTZ is optional (power provided locally at each camera) Emerging PVD technology can ease power delivery
