PRO JECT D ESC RIPT ION
As the project manager for the Cable Planning team, you will manage the creation of the cable plan for
the new building that will be built, with construction set to begin in six weeks.
The deliverables for the entire Cable Plan will consist of an Executive Summary, a
PowerPoint
Presentation and an Excel Spreadsheet. You will develop different parts of each of these in three parts.
The final organization should contain these elements:
The Executive Summary:
o Project Introduction
o Standards and
Codes
Cable Standards and Codes
Building Standards and Codes
o Project Materials
o Copper Cable, Tools, and Test Equipment
o Fiber-Optic Cable, Tools, and Test Equipment
o Fiber-Optic Design Considerations
o Basement Server Complex

Course Objectives Tested:
1. Distinguish between bandwidth, frequency, and data rate in a data network
2. Explain the importance of codes, standards, and specifications.
3. Compare and contrast network topologies
4. Describe the characteristics of different copper cables
5. Explain the purpose of network tools
6. Compare and contrast fiber-optic and copper transmission
7. Differentiate between twisted-pair cable connectors, coaxial cable connectors, and fiber-optic
cable connectors
8. Construct a network based on specifications using repeaters, hubs, bridges, switches, servers,
and routers
9. Demonstrate how to test copper and fiber-optic networks
10. Explain how fiber-optic transmission utilizes the basic principles of light for transmission
11. Evaluate the optical fiber characteristics that affect data rates, including dispersion, attenuation,
and bending
12. Compare different fiber-optic light sources
13. Explain the passive components used in fiber-optic networking, including couplers, optical
switches, optical attenuators, optical isolators, optical amplifiers, and optical filters
14. Explain how to install, test and repair fiber-optic cables and networks.

Part 1 Project Part 1: Design a Cable Network for a Large
Company
Your first task in creating the Cabling Plan is to develop an
Executive Summary that will contain the Project
Introduction and Infrastructure Cable Specifications and
Standards.
Your manager gives you the overall project plan that
includes:
A detailed description of the new
building.
The total number of computers for all of
the employees of the company.
The server and network topology
hardware that is required to put the
system together.
You can access documents for the project plan through
the Unit 2 Study Lesson.
This week, you will develop the template for
the Executive
Summary format (include headings for all sections.) You
will also fill in the content for the following sections and
subsections in the Executive Summary:
o Project Introduction
o Standards and Codes
Cable Standards and Codes

Part 2 Project Part 2 Cable Infrastructure and Procedures
Submission Requirements:
Using the Project Plan provided by your supervisor
(accessed from the Unit 2 Study Lesson), the Executive
Summary sections that were created for the Part 1 of the
Project, and templates you created in Part 1 of the Project,
you will design the cable infrastructure
for the basement
where the Telecommunications equipment, Network
equipment, and cable reside. Parameters for the design
such as the size of the building, Computer and Servers,
Cable, and Network Equipment requirements are provided
in the Overall Project Plan provided by your supervisor.
You will also designate the cable Equipment, and fiber
segments for installation in the basement where the
Telecommunications equipment, the Network equipment
Your instructor will use
the following points for
evaluating your
performance in this
assessment:
Did you add to

and cable reside and one of the four upper floors in the
building. The basic designs of the upper floors (all have
the same design) are based on the size of the building,
the number of Computer Workstations, Cable, and
Network Equipment requirements. The parameters are
provided by the Overall Project Plan to assist you in
completing the tasks.
The first task will be to define the infrastructure and
network component requirements within
an Excel
Spreadsheet. Research each device and cable and fill in
information including the description, price, and source, in
the spreadsheet.
Define the Power Budget provided by the fiber-optic cable
and determine if the backbone design is adequate to keep
within the Power Budget. Research each type of Fiber-
Optic Cable to determine the best type to use for the
company’s backbone.
Continue the Executive Summary, Spreadsheet, and
presentation and add the following Topics/Items to the
Project Materials:
o Fiber-Optic Design Considerations
o Basement Server Complex Design
o Standard Floor Design
o Fiber-Optic Characteristics:
o Bandwidth
o Attenuation
o Electromagnetic Immunity
o Size and Weight
o Security and Safety
o Link Performance Analysis
