Structured Cabling Studio is an educational project designed to train professionals in networking technologies and computer network construction.
The Structured Cabling Studio system allows for calculating necessary meterage of installation cable for design of a structured cabling, in accordance with the requirements of the ISO/IEC 11801 international standard, as well as determining the selection requirements for telecommunications cables based on the planned structured cabling architecture characteristics. The choice is given the options to calculate the required cable length both with and without considering the cable length in the one cable hank (reel). Calculating of the required cable length with considering the cable length in the one hank will take is consider of the number of cable drops that can be made from a one cable hank.
Calculation of the necessary cable meterage without considering of hanks is taken on formula:
(a + b) / 2 ⋅ c ⋅ d ⋅ e
Where a - minimum length of permanent link;
b - maximum length of permanent link;
c - techological reserve coefficient;
d - workplaces count;
e - ports count per one workplace
Calculation of the requried cable hanks (reels) count is taken on formula:
⌈(a ⋅ b / ⌊(c ÷ (((d + e) ÷ 2) ⋅ f))⌋)⌉
Where a - workplaces count;
b - ports count per one workplace;
c - meterage in one cable hank;
d - minimum length of permanent link;
e - maximum length of permanent link;
f - technological reserve coefficient.
Calculation of the necessary cable meterage with considering of hanks is taken, respectively, by obtaining the product of the cable meterage in the one hank and the hanks count.
