Introduction

Centralized Cross-Connect System for
Managing Ethernet Data Services
Situation
Ethernet-based data services offer the opportunity to create differentiation, command premium
pricing, and earn higher margins for such value-added data services as transparent LANs, storage
area networks, and virtual private networks. Extending native 10/100Base-T and Gigabit Ethernet
services across the LAN, WAN, and MAN means data services are less expensive to deploy,
provision quickly, and offer exceptional reliability and security. Yet as the Ethernet distribution
system grows with more routers and switches in central offices, all of these advantages can be
quickly erased by a poorly designed cabling and connectivity architecture.
As service providers move from being vendors of T1, T3 and OC-XX data pipes to partners
providing value-added Ethernet data services, an effective business model includes the following goals:
• Create a flexible, carrier-class Ethernet delivery system, and
• Decrease operating costs of Ethernet delivery.
Reaching these goals is contingent largely upon building the correct architecture to support
Ethernet data services.
Solution
Achieving the dual requirements of lower costs and carrier-class services is possible by creating a
centralized cross-connect patching system with an Ethernet Distribution Frame (EDF). An EDF
provides a cross-connect field that ties together all Ethernet network elements from multiple floors
of the central office (CO) or point-of-presence (POP), providing a common craft interface for
performing adds, upgrades, and rearrangements on Ethernet services. In this simplified
architecture, all network elements have permanent equipment cable connections that are, once
terminated, never handled again. Technicians isolate elements, connect new elements, route
around problems, and perform maintenance and other functions using semi-permanent patch
cord connections on the front of the EDF cross-connect bay. This craft-friendly design supports
cost-effective growth and change in the Ethernet distribution system.

Ethernet Distribution Frame
Introduction
Benefits
• Lower operating costs. As compared to direct connect or interconnect designs, the EDF cross-
connect reduces the time it takes for adding cards, moving circuits, upgrading software, and
performing maintenance. Factory assembled cable assemblies and patch panels reduce installation time
and ensure consistent quality. In addition, this high-density interface for Ethernet distribution not only
maximizes active ports but also conserves valuable floor space.
• Improved reliability and availability. Permanent connections protect equipment cables from daily
activity that can damage cables. Moves, adds, and changes are effected on the patching field instead
of on the backplanes of sensitive routing and switching equipment, enabling changes in the network
without disrupting service. With the ability to isolate network segments for troubleshooting and
reroute circuits through simple patching, Operations gains time for making proper repairs during
regular hours instead of during night or weekend shifts.
• Competitive advantage. The EDF enables rapid changes to the network. Turning-up new service is
accomplished by plugging in a patch cord instead of the labor-intensive task of making multiple hard-wired
cable connections. As a result, cards are added to the network in minutes instead of hours, decreasing
time to revenue and providing a competitive edge—faster service availability—in the marketplace.
• Investment protection. Unlike direct connection of Ethernet elements, the logical EDF cross-connect

scales easily. As elements are added, transport methods changed, and new technologies implemented,
the EDF remains constant, providing the common craft interface for managing Ethernet distribution
without service disruption.
Implementation
Creating a craft-friendly, low-cost Ethernet
distribution system fully rated for Gigabit
Ethernet consists of the following:
Ethernet Distribution Frame, providing
the central location for cross-connecting all
Ethernet network elements in a CO or POP
with semi-permanent connections. Each EDF
consists of the following ADC equipment:
• 19" or 23" UEF zone 4 rack
• Glide Cable Management system,
consisting of vertical cable managers
installed on the sides of each rack as
well as upper and lower crossover
troughs
• Category 5e patch panels, RJ45/RJ21x,
providing up to 864 available Ethernet
ports per 7' rack
• Category 5e patch cords for creating
semi-permanent cross-connections
Active Network Element Frame
houses both active equipment and one or two distribution panels. It provides permanent connections
from active Ethernet equipment to distribution panels and from distribution panels to the EDF.
• 19" or 23" UEF zone 4 rack
• Glide Cable Management system, consisting of vertical cable managers installed on the sides of
each rack as well as an upper crossover trough
• One or two Category 5e patch panels, RJ45/RJ21x, mounted at the top of each bay with active

network elements mounted below
• Category 5e patch cords for making permanent RJ45 connections between Ethernet equipment and
distribution patch panels at the top of the bay

• PowerWorx

power distribution products include options for suppression of power line noise,
uninterrupted power, and fusing for multiple amperage equipment from a single rack unit design—
all with NEBS Level 3 certification and a 15 year warranty
Design Issues
• All cable assemblies, patch cords, and patch panels should be rated Category 5, 5e, or 6 to ensure
Gigabit Ethernet performance, per EIA/TIA 568-B.1 standards for LAN cabling. While Gigabit
Ethernet is designed to run on Category 5 or higher cabling, Category 5e and Category 6 cables
and components are preferred for new build-outs.
• Cabling distance between active network elements should be no more than 100 meters, which
includes both permanent cables and semi-permanent patch cords. Patch cord length should be less
than 10 meters due to attenuation from stranded cable. Distances greater than 100 meters require
optical transport and media conversion at both the EDF and active bays.
• Due to TIA standards that limit the proximity of connection points, limit the number of passive

connection points between active equipment to four with length between EDF and active
equipment of at least 15 meters to minimize electrical interaction between patch panels.
• Proper routing, management, and protection of cables and patch cords in both the EDF and active
element bays is essential for carrier-class reliability and availability. A system of vertical cable
managers with integrated slack managers not only offers proper management of cables, but also
provides increased bay density as compared to systems using horizontal cable managers. Vertical
cable managers should be sized 8 inches wide, except for inter-rack applications that require 10- or
12-inch widths.
• Select a standard patch cord length of less than 10 meters for the EDF and use slack managers in
vertical cable managers for routing and storage of extra cable lengths (see Figures 3 and 4). This
ensures that the cross-connect is easy to administer while providing protection for patch cords.
• Choose preconnectorized patch panels with RJ45 interfaces on the front and RJ21x interfaces on
the rear. Punchdown connectors (110) are reliable, but take more time to install and are prone to
installation errors such as cross wiring that disable ports. Gold-on-gold contacts between modular
interfaces on patch panels are pre-assembled cable assemblies ensure reliable and consistent
performance.

cross-connect bay using vertical cable managers with slack
managers for handling extra cable lengths.
Figure 4. Upper and lower crossover managers with
vertical cable managers enable connection of ports on
opposite sides of the EDF cross-connect bay.
• Where E/O conversion is required, media converters should feature clear separation of optical,
electrical, and power supply cables to ensure system reliability. Distributed power architecture is also

preferred for improved performance, reliability, and system availability. Built-in intelligence enables
time saving in installation and troubleshooting with full view of UTP and optical link integrity from
one end of the circuit.
• System reliability depends upon proper management of fiber cables. Fiber panels and boxes should
include removable angled retainers as well as integrated splicing and slack storage. In addition,
single circuit access to fibers provides improved system reliability and availability by reducing the
chance for damage to adjacent fibers during routine maintenance of individual fibers.
Conclusion
Earning customers for value-added data services requires innovative offerings, a competitive price, and
superior reliability and availability. Extending native Ethernet across the LAN, WAN, and MAN opens the
door for new data services. However, building an infrastructure that keeps operating costs low while
providing exceptional reliability and 99.999% availability requires a centralized cross-connect EDF
designed to manage growth and change without disrupting service.

ADC’s Ethernet Distribution Frame (EDF) forms a central patching location between active Ethernet network
elements. By creating a centralized craft interface for adds, upgrades, and rearrangements on Ethernet
equipment, the EDF enables change without service disruptions. This central patching location provides a
logical and easy-to-manage infrastructure due to two design characteristics:
• All network elements have permanent equipment cable connections that are, once terminated,
never handled again.
• All changes, circuit rerouting, upgrades, maintenance and other activities are accomplished using
semi-permanent patch cords on the front of the EDF cross-connect bay.

Introduction
Ethernet Connectivity
Selection Tutorial
Category 5, 5e or 6? 110 punchdown, or RJ to RJ? T568A or T568B? Shielded or unshielded?
Will I choose the right Ethernet patch panel for my application? Will this choice work with future
applications? Am I getting the best overall value?
With all the choices you face as you design your network and select equipment, including available
Ethernet patch panels, it’s easy to become confused and frustrated. Ultimately your choice of
Ethernet panels should fit the applications you plan to run. ADC wrote this short tutorial to guide
you through these decisions, to make them as painless as possible and offer you the best solution
for your network.
First, let’s ask a few key questions. Your answers will help guide you in the decision process. Next,
we will briefly discuss each of the most popular options available so you can draw conclusions based
on your network needs.
Discovery Questions
• What applications are you or do you plan to run on this network? 10/100Base-T? 1000Base-T?
• What type of network are you designing? Data center? Data backbone? LAN?
• Is the project a new network installation or addition to existing network?
• Is the installation being built to expand existing capacity with current data capabilities or is it
for new, faster data applications?
Answers to these questions will guide you to a particular cable type, a particular data patch panel,
and the means to terminate the cable into the patch panel — whether the terminations into the
patch panel involve “punchdown” cable terminations, pre-made telco-type multi-pair cable ends,
or standard RJ45 cable ends.
The general guidelines for network transmission capabilities segment the data network; data
center and data network backbone system applications require the highest level of transmission
capabilities, while feeds to work areas generally require a bit less. However, all network

connectivity should be designed with only the highest network engineering standards available.
Category 5, 5e, and 6 Cabling
The Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) standards forming group consists of a variety
of industry experts including connectivity and cable manufacturers, distributors, installers, and end
customers. The TIA determines certain transmission characteristics that must be met to qualify a
cable for certain network applications.
Category 5 cabling is currently the most prevalent wiring in existing buildings. Electrical
characteristics defined by the TIA specify near end cross-talk (NEXT), attenuation, and return loss
to 100 MHz. The TIA Technical Services Bulletin (TSB) 95 recommends additional criteria for far end
cross-talk (FEXT).

Patch Panels
Introduction
Category 5e is currently the minimum TIA recommended category of wiring for new installations.
Electrical characteristics for NEXT, FEXT, attenuation, and return loss are specified to 100 MHz. NEXT
performance is slightly better than category 5.
Category 6 is gaining popularity for new installations. Electrical characteristics for NEXT, FEXT,
attenuation, and return loss are specified to 250 MHz. Improvements in all electrical parameters are
part of the higher TIA Category 6 standard.
Category 7 cabling is a developing standard. The International Standards Organization (ISO) is leading
the standardization efforts for this new individually-shielded, overall-shielded, 4-pair cable with
transmission specifications referenced to 600 MHz. The cable end interface will probably be something
other than the familiar RJ45 connector, mainly to differentiate the Category 7 installation from existing
lower-bandwidth infrastructure.
So, which should you use? There is quite a bit of misleading information in the industry on this subject,
the biggest myth being that Category 6 is required to run Gigabit Ethernet over copper (1000Base-T).
Actually 1000Base-T was designed by the IEEE to run on Category 5. As long as the Category 5 is

installed according to TIA-568-B standards and meets the testing criteria in TIA TSB 95, 1000Base-T
will perform satisfactorily on Category 5. However, as of this writing, the TIA recommends Category
5e over Category 5 as the minimum cabling for new network infrastructure installations.
When do I use Category 6? Does the application standard (i.e., Gigabit Ethernet, 10G, etc.) specify
Category 6 as a minimal requirement? The TIA is making recommendations to the IEEE 802.3ae and
the 10 Gigabit Ethernet Alliance, who are currently working on 10 Gigabit cabling systems, that any
10 Gigabit Ethernet designed to run on copper cabling use Category 6 because of its improvement in
signal to noise. The good news is that Category 6 is backward compatible and will have no trouble
running existing applications such as 10/100Base-T and 1000Base-T.
Cable Type Summary
The chart below summarizes the industry standard UTP cable types used in current networking
installations.
In addition to the UTP cabling described above, you should understand the issues of cable shielding,
and stranded versus solid cable.
Shielded vs. Unshielded Twisted Pair
Unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling provides immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) with the
properties of the two conductors that make up a transmission pair being twisted together. When UTP
cabling encounters electrical interference, the noise crossing the twisted pairs is cancelled by the twists
in the cable (called “Common Mode Rejection”, a subject outside the scope of this introduction).
Standard Category 5, 5e and 6 cables contain four unshielded twisted pairs of conductors. For
10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX applications, only two pairs are used, one for the transmit circuit and one
for receive circuit. For 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet) all four pairs are required.
The term “shielded twisted pair” cabling can be misleading. There are actually two methods of
shielding a twisted pair cable. Screened twisted pair cable (ScTP) provides an overall screen or metal
foil around the four pairs of conductors, but each individual twisted pair is unshielded. Shielded
Category Test Frequency 10/100BaseT 1000BaseT Future Applications Relative Cost

Cat 5e 100 MHz Yes Yes Maybe $
Cat 6 250 MHz Yes Yes Yes $$

Introduction
Twisted Pair cable (STP) has each individual pair shielded, plus an overall screen around the four
individually shielded pairs. This makes a very expensive and hard to install cable - the legacy token ring
IBM Type 1 cable and Category 7 are examples of STP cable. STP cable requires metal end connectors
and metal jacks that bond the cable shield to earth ground to carry the interfering signals safely away
from the signal conducting pairs – failure to connect the cable shield to earth ground results in the
shield coupling the interfering noise to the conductors, providing very poor transmission performance.
Most of the world uses UTP cabling, with some exceptions located in a few countries in Europe.
Stranded vs. Solid Conductor Cable
Stranded cable is flexible and often used for patch panel jumpers and work area connections. Stranded
cabling is used for shorter patching applications for its flexible cable construction, but also exhibits
higher attenuation due to the smaller diameter conductors, and as such should not be used for long,
permanent installations. Solid conductor cable is used for the “horizontal” cable runs from the
telecommunications room to the work area wall outlet. The typical gauge for Category 5e cable is 24
AWG. Category 6 is 23 AWG - the larger conductor diameter improves attenuation characteristics and
signal-to-noise ratio versus the smaller conductor diameter of Category 5e.
Wiring Schemes, T568A vs. T568B
Wiring schemes also raise a variety of questions:
Q: What’s the difference between T568A and T568B?
A. The only difference is the positioning of the Green and Orange pairs of wires (see figure 1)
Figure 1
Typical RJ45 cable ends, T568A vs. T568B
Q: Is there a performance difference between T568A and T568B?
A: No. Both wiring schemes have to meet the same performance criteria.
Q: Why two schemes?

A: The reason is outside of the scope of this paper but it is related to old telephone legacy issues.
All you really need to know is that there are two schemes, and how to deal with them.

Introduction
The solution really is fairly simple: Just pick one wiring scheme and use it consistently throughout your
network. The only problem you would ever encounter would be if the two wiring schemes were
accidentally mixed in an installation. T568B is the predominate scheme in the United States; T568A is
popular in Canada and in many other countries. The safest way to determine which to use is to check
with the network equipment provider to determine the predominant wiring scheme used in the
equipment. The reason for this check is quite simple: you can change the wiring scheme used in the
network but you cannot change the wiring scheme used in the network equipment.
Patch Panel Rear Termination Options
Popular choices for patch panel rear terminations include 110 Insulation Displacement Contact (IDC)
punchdown termination, and connectorized cable end terminations (RJ45 and RJ21X).
Many popular data patch panels are designed using 110 IDCs, requiring the manual punchdown
termination of each individual wire. A typical 24-port panel requires 192 individual punchdown
terminations. With this many manual terminations, installation mistakes are common, including

incorrect wire mapping (cross-wiring), opens, shorts, and excessive untwisting of the wire pairs.
Terminating the “horizontal” cabling from the work areas in the telecommunications room typically
uses 110 IDC punchdown panels.
For patch-panel-to-patch-panel connections in a data center or telecommunications room,
preterminated cable assemblies and connectorized patch panels can improve installation time and
connectivity success. A preconnectorized solution dramatically decreases the assembly time and
increases the quality of the termination, as the contact points are typically gold-on-gold with high
contact forces. Preconnectorized solutions do require up-front planning — the distances between
panels must be determined so the correct cable assembly length can be ordered.
RJ45-to-RJ45 and RJ45-to-RJ21X panels are the two most popular preconnectorized systems. The
RJ21X, also known as 50-pin telco or 25-pair Amphenol
®
connectors, is popular because six 4-pair
Ethernet (1000BaseT) or twelve 2-pair Ethernet (10/100BaseT) circuits can be terminated at one time
on a panel using the correct multi-pair cable assembly.
