Information technology - Generic cabling systems - Part 5: Data centres
This European Standard specifies generic cabling that supports a wide range of communications services for use within a data centre. It covers balanced cabling and optical fibre cabling. This European Standard is based upon and references the requirements of EN 50173-1. This European Standard contains additional requirements that are appropriate to data centres in which the distance over which communications services have to be distributed is the maximum defined for backbone cabling implementations within EN 50173-1. The principles of this European Standard may also be applied to installations that do not fall within this range.

Ta evropski standard določa univerzalno polaganje kablov, ki podpira širok razpon komunikacijskih storitev za uporabo v podatkovnih centrih. Zajema uravnoteženo polaganje kablov in polaganje optičnih kablov. Ta evropski standard temelji na zahtevah EN 50173-1 in se sklicuje nanje. Ta evropski standard vsebuje dodatne zahteve, ki so primerne za podatkovne centre, kjer je največja razdalja, na kateri je treba distribuirati komunikacijske storitve, opredeljena z izvedbo hrbteničnega polaganja kablov v EN 50173-1. Načela tega evropskega standarda prav tako lahko veljajo za inštalacije, ki niso v tem obsegu.

Insert the following new Annex C.
Annex C
(normative)
Intermediate distribution cabling subsystem
C.1 General
Larger data centres may require an additional subsystem in order to support a reasonable
administration system that will allow for the interconnection of several main distributors. In such case
the main distributor will become the common distributor, which now connects several intermediate
distributors, which act as local main distributors.
This annex defines the additional requirements that are required for such implementations.
C.2 Structure
C.2.1 Functional elements
In addition to the distributors specified in 4.1, Annex C specifies the following functional element and
interface of generic cabling:
– intermediate distributor (ID).
C.2.2 General structure and hierarchy
Generic cabling systems in accordance with this annex contain an additional cabling subsystem: the
intermediate distribution cabling subsystem. Network access cabling subsystems may be connected
directly to the intermediate distributor.
The cabling subsystems are connected together to create a generic cabling system with a structure as
shown in Figure C.1. The composition of the intermediate distribution cabling subsystem is described in
C.2.3. The functional elements of the cabling subsystems are interconnected to form a basic hierarchical
topology as shown in Figure C.2.
Where the functions of distributors are combined (see 4.7.1) the cabling subsystems linking them are
not required.
Connection to application-specific equipment at an ID adopts an interconnect or a cross-connect
approach (see EN 50173-1). Passive connections between cabling subsystems adopt either a cross-
connect approach, by way of either patch cords or jumpers, or an interconnect approach.

C.2.3 Cabling subsystems
C.2.3.1 Main distribution cabling subsystem
The main distribution cabling subsystem extends from an MD to the IDs connected to it. The
subsystem includes
a) the main distribution cables,
b) the mechanical termination of the main distribution cables at the MD together with associated
patch cords and/or jumpers at the MD,
c) the mechanical termination of the main distribution cables at the ID.
Although equipment cords are used to connect the transmission equipment to the cabling subsystem,
they are not considered part of the main distribution cabling subsystem because they are application-
specific.
C.2.3.2 Intermediate distribution cabling subsystem
The intermediate distribution cabling subsystem extends from an ID to the ZDs connected to it. The
subsystem includes
a) the intermediate distribution cables,
b) the mechanical termination of the intermediate distribution cables at the ID together with
associated patch cords and/or jumpers at the ID,
c) the mechanical termination of the intermediate cables at the ZD.
Although equipment cords are used to connect the transmission equipment to the cabling subsystem,
they are not considered part of the intermediate distribution cabling subsystem because they are
application-specific.
