Integrated cabling as a standard for building infrastructure

Integrated wiring is the infrastructure of the building. With the advancement of science and technology and the vigorous rise of the construction industry in these years, it has achieved a very big development in China. This is because today's smart construction is more and more digital. Therefore, digital development has opened up a broad application prospect for integrated wiring, and then the integrated cabling market has become more and more standardized and more rational. This allows our wiring to be in a virtuous circle.

However, the above describes the development status of our country's integrated wiring. In the future, China's integrated cabling market will show two development directions: First, it will develop in the direction of high speed, high density and intelligence. On the other hand, in the face of homogenous competition in cabling products, green environmental protection has also become an important direction leading the development of cabling market technology.

If we want to do the two development aspects mentioned above, how should we do it? Today, VCOM Communications is here to talk with you about our country's comprehensive development of cabling in the future to do a good job in nine tasks.

The first job, health market and media guidance

China's cabling market is a market that encourages competition. Driven by interests, fake and shoddy, shoddy wiring products still flood the market. What's worse is that under the banner of foreign well-known brands, it has become a fraudulent practice and disrupted the healthy development of the wiring market. In the project, the design that does not meet the requirements and specifications is not practical, blind pursuit of high-end products; construction is not standardized, does not conduct system testing and other phenomena still exist. Under such circumstances, we need to make use of the positive role of the media and the network, publicize the national laws and policies, set up well-known cabling brands, expose unscrupulous companies' fraudulent practices, and promote the application of new technologies and new products, making the wiring market a healthy development. .

Second work, development of information communication and upgrading of cabling system

The integrated cabling market in China has been in operation since 1993, and has gone through nearly 20 years. Most of the early cabling systems were mainly based on Category 3 and Category 5 copper cables and OM1 and OM2 multimode fiber cabling systems. Some cabling project cabling products had passed the warranty period. Due to the development of information and communication, computer networks have been developed from 10M/100M/1000M to 10G/40G/100G transmission rates. The original wiring system could not meet the new requirements of the network. Therefore, the transformation and expansion of the wiring system is imperative.

The third job, structured cabling and smart buildings

The intelligent building weak current system is facing the development of networking and digitization in terms of information collection, uploading, and integrated management. In buildings, structured cabling has enabled the converged transmission of multiple services to be revisited on the agenda. The integrated cabling system can make full use of each pair of integrated cabling, reducing labor costs, simplifying construction, and saving materials using PoE. Reducing energy consumption will be widely used in systems such as surveillance systems and building automation systems.

The fourth job, project quality and system testing

To strengthen compliance with the requirements of the code, the implementation of the inspection of the wiring system project is an effective guarantee for the quality of the wiring project and the normal operation of the network. In particular, the test content and test methods for data center room cabling need to be supplemented and improved in the relevant standards of our country. In addition, smart wiring systems (including hardware and software) should be accepted as special projects. The work of engineering inspection has attracted the attention of the industry. However, there are still unsatisfactory areas where all aspects of the wiring area need to be well-publicized and implemented.

The fifth job, green environmental protection and energy consumption reduction

As we all know, the data center as the core of enterprise applications and operations, its ever-escalating energy consumption has been increasingly concerned by service providers and users. With the increasing demand for lowering energy costs and achieving high-performance, environmentally-friendly companies, green data centers have emerged. Especially for telecom operators, energy costs currently account for a large proportion of total costs. More attention is paid to the green data center. In fact, more investment should be made in the intelligent management system that combines hardware and software.

To achieve green environmental protection, we should consider whether the material has flame retardant, low smoke, non-toxic performance and sufficient fire protection rating from the cable. Because this issue is related to fire protection, the cabling market has been in a state of controversy. It is necessary for us to do a better job of technically correct guidance and promotion of corresponding specifications.

The sixth work, home wiring system and smart home

The home wiring system is the basic infrastructure for residential buildings. It is the most basic unit for information collection and control of smart homes (information and communications, appliance control, emergency calls, smoke alarms, cards, meter copying, lighting and curtain control, etc.). According to the requirements of national standards, each household should set up a home wiring box, and the home wiring box can have a combination of different functions (wiring, Ethernet switch, telephone exchange, cable TV, weak control module, etc.), and indoor Home wiring should be in one step. The development trend of fiber optic homes for home wiring has also opened up new areas for domestic cable manufacturers.

The seventh work, optical fiber broadband access and triple play

Optical fiber broadband access uses optical fiber transmission media to extend communication services from the service center to cells, roadsides, buildings, users, and terminals, enabling the convergence of distribution networks to meet the applications of voice, data, graphics, and multimedia. To the entire optical distribution network of the campus and buildings, optical fibers and optical devices will be fully utilized in the construction of access networks with telecommunication operators and cable service providers.

Eighth Work, Intelligent Management and Internet of Things

The current smart wiring system mainly adopts the 9th pin and port technology, how to realize the management of all wiring equipment from the end to end of the wiring system, how to introduce the concept of the Internet of Things, and apply the electronic label RF technology to the entire wiring system (cable The integrated management of assets and security for bridges, bridges, modules, boxes (boxes), cabinets, etc., remains to be developed, applied, and promoted.

Ninth work, market development and standardization

Standards are important technical documents that regulate the healthy development of the wiring market. However, the rapid development of the cabling industry has made us realize that our technical infrastructure work tends to lag behind the needs of the market. In response to such a situation, the Integrated Wiring Working Group of the Information and Communication Professional Committee of the China Engineering Construction Standardization Association has played a role in supplementing and improving the content of the national standards by compiling the technical white paper of the cabling industry. The white paper actively introduces new contents of foreign standards and integrates with relevant domestic standards, technical requirements, product applications, and engineering cases. It has very good applicable value and is well received by the market. The preparation of technical white papers will continue with the development of the cabling industry.
