When configuring a floor distributor, using KRONE
HIGHBAND modules, a number of options are
available to meet the requirements of each specific
site There is also a wide range of KRONE
mounting hardware to suit all distributor sizes
The basic frame layout should comprise discrete
fields as shown in the example below It is good
practice to balance up your frame, for example by
positioning your work area field in the centre of
the frame to segregate the vertical cabling and
data ports on the floor distributor
HIGHBAND is unique in that it gives the user
multiple cross connect choices based on the
following two basic cross connect methods:
1 Jumper Cross Connect
- For both voice and high speed data traffic
- The most economical method when there is
infrequent need for changes or where better
administration and control is required
- Subsequent savings on patch panels and cords
can be used to purchase additional data hub
ports to liven up spare outlets - simplifying
workstation moves and patch administration
2 Patch Cross Connect
- For both voice and high speed data traffic
- Provides the easiest method of cross connecting
A combination of both jumpering and patching can
be used for the optimum mix of methods to suitparticular operational requirements, eg:
Jumper the voice cross connects and patch the data
This mix of methods could be used when flexibledata configuration is required but the telephoneenvironment is stable and the extensions can bechanged electronically at the PABX This mix wouldallow some cost savings
Patch-By-Exception
This is the best all-round solution when you have alarge number of cross connections (>100) andwhen:
- Cost-cutting is essential
- High reliability coupled with moderate flexibilityand ease of use are essential The PBE methodfacilitates administration and control of movesand changes
- High density Telco connectorised hub equipment

Category 4 is acceptable This gives an advantage of increased
density and provides the possibility for the fitting of over
voltage protection should it be required on the distribution.
Trang 7- The area is served by an electronic PABX with 120
four wire extensions to provide one extension to
every workstation using 10x25 pair cable or 250
pair riser cable
- Infrequent moves are expected
- 100 BASE-T hub with 64 ports to be initially
installed to serve 50 of the workstations
- Gigabit Ethernet and ATM expected to be used
on network cabling in two years’ time
- Need to keep budget costs down
Basic decisions from criteria:
- Use HIGHBAND 8 modules on PABX, data and
work area fields
- Jumper all cross connections and Patch-By
Exception when infrequent moves are required
- Run short patch cables from 100 BASE-T hub
ports to data vertical and terminate 2 ports
(i.e 8 pairs) per HIGHBAND 8 module Use
modular plugs suited to solid conductor cable or
cut pre-manufactured patch cords in half and
punch down stranded cable at Highband 8
100 workstations with two outlets per workstation,making a total of 200 outlets Therefore 100HIGHBAND 8 modules are required
(b) On data field vertical: Answer = 32 HIGHBAND
8 modules Since we will terminate two 10 BASE Tports per module and as there are 64 ports; 32modules are needed
(c) On the voice or riser field: Answer = 32HIGHBAND 8 modules There are a total of 120
x 2 pair telephone circuits This equals 240pairs Therefore 30 HIGHBAND 8 modules arerequired to terminate the specified extensionsand two modules are required to terminate thespare cable pairs
In total, the Distributor will use 164 HIGHBAND
8 modules
From Data Rack
To work stations From Riser/PABX
Note: Jumper all cross connection in initial installation using
Cat 5e jumper cable Store a quantity of 10 HIGHBAND 8/16
by exception, and use these when required.

TrueNet's zero bit error rate guarantee is
revolutionising the structured cabling industry Until
now, no other cabling solution has been able to
deliver what Network Managers want most
-optimum data throughput Companies worldwide
are now enjoying increased network speed and
efficiency resulting from adopting a TrueNet solution
TrueNet Cat 5eT and Cat 6T systems are available in
a RJ solution format, and can also be configured
using KRONE's HIGHBAND 8 or Ultim8 IDC modules
Utilising HIGHBAND modules as part of the TrueNet
solution makes KRONE's cost effective and easy to
manage Patch-By-Exception function possible
During the research and development stage ofTrueNet, KRONE HIGHBAND connectors and KRONEcable were finely tuned to achieve an impedancematch of 100 (±3) ohms, which is five times greaterthan the IEEE standard of 100 (±15) ohms fornetwork cabling components This level ofimpedance matching has reduced the occurrence ofdata errors, caused by the cabling system, andsubsequent re-transmissions to such a negligiblelevel that KRONE actually guarantees zero bit errorrate performance from the TrueNet system

A Consolidation Point is particularly useful when
wiring to modular furniture, workstation clusters or
partitioned office areas When moving modular
furniture or office partitions, there is no need to
run new cabling all the way back to the Floor
Distributor (which could be up to 90 metres) You
only need to renew the last few metres from the
Consolidation Point to the workstation outlets

Installation of Cables
Cables can enter the frame (either backmount or
Profil) from the top or bottom Minimum cable
length should equal the distance to the termination
point plus 300 mm Cables should be velcro tied
but not too tightly, at randomly spaced intervals (of
approx 200 mm) inside the mounting frame
Termination of Cables
Cables can be terminated either before or after the
module is mounted on the frame When using a
Profil frame it is recommended to mount one end
of the module only to allow access to the rear of
the module, leaving both hands free for cable
feeding and termination
Always commence with the module at the lowest
point on the frame Ensure module is mounted
with KRONE logo facing up
Fan the pairs to the corresponding termination
point (The maximum untwist distance allowable
under the standards for Category 5e installations is
13 mm.) Place the wires in the termination slots
and terminate using a KRONE termination tool
(note: only a genuine KRONE Tool can be used)
After termination of the module is complete, place
the module on the mounting frame and repeat the
process on the next module
Running of Jumpers & Patch Cords
Patch Cords
Insert the patch cord in the centre access port for
the pairs to be patched Interlocking guides prevent
the patch cord from being inserted upside down
Loop the patch cord back through the guide ring
provided on the side of the module nearest the
pairs to be patched
Always maintain a minimum bend radius of four
times the cable diameter The patch cord should
then be run to the top of the frame and across to
the desired location at the other end
JumpersFeed the Category 5e cable through the guide ringprovided on the side of the module
Fan and place the Category 5e jumper wire in thetermination slots of the desired pairs ensuring thetwist rate is maintained to the point of termination(bottom row of the HIGHBAND 8 and HIGHBAND
10 disconnection modules)
Terminate each wire using a KRONE terminationtool The jumper wire should then be run to thetop of the frame and guided across to the desiredlocation on the frame using the main jumper ringsand terminated appropriately

Patch-By-Exception
Trang 12P ATCH BY E XCEPTION - H OW DOES IT WORK ?
Patch-By-Exception is a solution whereby you hard wire your network and make subsequent changes utilisingpatch cords The diagram shows a patch cord changing the input from workstation one to workstation two.The cord disconnects the jumpers leading to workstation one and re-directs the signal through the patchcord to workstation two To go back to the original configuration, simply remove the patch cord If thechange is to be made permanent, a cabling specialist can be called in to hard wire the configuration and theremoved patch cord can be reused for other temporary changes
page twelve
Permanent services are hardwired
rather than patched
Data side frame does not need to be
co-located with active equipment
Category 5, 5e, or 6 cable is used
instead of patch cords.
Extensive labelling options
'19 inch' accommodation such
as racks is not required.
Capacity for mounting with
existing LSA modules
Testing convenience
This provides a neat and tidy cable management solution and allowsfor greater flexibility of wiring arrangements and superior reliability.Reduces cabinet and floor space requirements and costs Isparticularly effective with high density Telco connectorised hubswhich allows further cabinet space reductions
This method is more cost effective as jumper cable is cheaperthan the equivalent length of patch cord Performance isenhanced due to the lower attenuation of jumper cable and theelimination of one plug and socket in the channel
More information can be displayed on the modules reducing theneed to refer to other documentation
