Fundamentals ofTelecommunications Systems

• Telecommunication system


• Telecommunication


it is the transmission, emission, or reception of signs, signals, writing, images, sounds, or information of any nature by wire, radio, optical, or other electromagnetic systems.

Telecommunication

uses electricity, light (visible and infrared), or radio waves to transmit signals that carry voice and data transmissions. It maybe analog or digital.

Telecommunication system

collection of communication equipment and devices that are interconnected so they can communicate in order to share data, hardware, and software or perform an electronic function

Telecommunication Networks


The network includes a series of connecting points called

Nodes

describes the configuration of a network, including its nodes, connecting cables and equipment. It describes the manner in which the cable is run to individual workstations on the network

Network topology

4 Transmission Media

Cable


Coaxial cable or coax


Optical fibers


Wireless

it is the most common medium through which voice and data usually move from one network device to another

cable

type of electrical cable consisting of an inner conductor surrounded by a concentric conducting shield,

Coaxial cable or coax –

is a term used to describe telecommunications in which electromagnetic waves (instead of some form of wire) carry the signal

wireless

are long, thin strands of very pure silicon glass or plastic about the diameter of a human hair.

optical fibers

STRUCTURED BUILDINGTELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

Telecommunication cabling


Pathway


Backbone

medium through which voice and data move from one telecommunication device to another.

Telecommunication cablin

it is a passageway, and thus a path, for cable to travel when interconnecting devices, components, and equipment in a telecommunication system

Pathway

is a generic term used to describe a main pathway or cabling media that interconnects a number of telecommunication devices.

Backbone

it is the cabling, devices, and equipment that integrate the voice, data, video, and electronic management systems of a building

Structured cabling system

Subsystems of Structured Cabling Systems

Interbuilding backbone


Building entrance facility


Telecommunications equipment room

it is the cabling and pathways outside of the building. It caries telecommunication services to the building

Interbuilding backbone

it is an entrance to the building for both public and private network service cables. It includes the cables, connecting hardware, protection devices, and other equipment needed to connect the interbuilding backbone cabling to the backbone cabling in the building

Building entrance facility

it is a Centralized space for housing main telecommunications equipment.

Telecommunications equipment room

dedicated room on each floor in a building that houses intermediate voice and data telecommunications equipment and related cable connections.

Telecommunications closet

it connects the entrance facilities/equipment room to the telecommunications closets for cabling that interconnects equipment and devices in these spaces.

Backbone pathway

connect the backbone cabling entering the telecommunications closet with the terminal equipment in the work area (e.g., computers, data terminals, telephones, and so on)

Horizontal pathways

is the space containing workstation (terminal) equipment and components

Work area
