SYSTIMAX Design and Engineering [SP3321] - CommScope Infrastructure Academy

Summary:

The firm focus is generic best design practices and aspects of design specific to the large range of SYSTIMAX cabling products such as GigaSPEEED, UTP and FTP, VisiPatch, modular copper and fiber terminated solutions, imVision® hardware. Design to both standards and extended SYSTIMAX standards are included together with testing and warranty requirements.

Audience:

This course is intended for anyone who will be directly involved in the Design and Engineering of SYSTIMAX Structured Cabling Systems. The primary audiences are SYSTIMAX PartnerPRO™, SYSTIMAX Solutions technical support personnel, account managers, consultants and 'end users' involved in SYSTIMAX Specification.

Pre-requisite experience:

No pre-requisite knowledge is required for this course. Previous exposure to enterprise infrastructure environments and a general understanding of IT and LANs will all be helpful. This course will take new students to a high design level.

This detailed foundation course is further complimented with a series of specialist courses that deal with design in areas such as 'In Building' Wireless, Data Center, Intelligent Building Automation systems, Security, and the imVision Infrastructure management solution.

Objectives:

• Provide a foundation of essential knowledge to support the design of a SYSTIMAX solution
• Understand data communication fundamentals
• Review basic transmission principals
• Overview industry standards
• Introduce SYSTIMAX products & warranty
• Understand architectural design issues
• Learn about horizontal design copper and fiber, including to support PoE and WiFi
• Design a fiber and copper riser system
• Know what to consider for campus designs
• Select optimum SYSTIMAX products for the design
• Order all necessary termination hardware
• Understand the test requirements for registration
• Take students to the required design level to complete SYSTIMAX warranties

Key Topics:

The focus of SP3321 is on the design of each SYSTIMAX subsystem. Designs for GigaREACH XL, GigaSPEED® XL, XL5 and X10D, VisiPatch™ VP360, GigaSHIELD X10D, LazrSPEED®, TeraSPEED™ and intelligent hardware are all included.

The course will begin by overviewing SYSTIMAX design tools then move on with transmission techniques for copper and fiber, basic data communications fundamentals and industry standards. In the SYSTIMAX-specific design lessons, SYSTIMAX products and components are reviewed in terms of selection and use. The commercial aspects and advantages of product choice are covered in detail. Industry standards such as ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173, EN50174, TIA-568, TIA569, TIA607 and many others are included in this course for review and impact on design.

Throughout the course, key design requirements for the SYSTIMAX performance and warranty for GigaSPEED X10D, XL5, GigaREACH XL, GigaSHIELD X10D and fiber solutions like Propel are raised and discussed, together with the design and application of the intelligent hardware.

Lessons include:

• SYSTIMAX Design Tools
• Data Transmission
• Key Standards Development
• Architectural Considerations
• Horizontal Designs
• Building Backbone Designs
• Campus Backbone
• Administration Area Design
• SYSTIMAX intelligent hardware & Installation
• SYSTIMAX Safety Inspection and Testing
• SYSTIMAX Warranty, Assurance & Site Registration
