11 Cabling infrastructure - Fiber Use in DC In Traditional DC solution, Fiber being used in Backbone Copper to connect the server New trend is to take fiber near to the end devices like servers due to Multimode supporting up to 10Gbps Future 40Gbps/100Gbps are Multimode Fiber over copper is no longer a cost consideration due to error free transmission, headroom and performance criteria.

12 Ethernet Evolution Mbps Mbps Mbps Mbps 10 Mbps 100 Mbps Mbps Mbps

13 millions server units x86 Servers by Connection Speed 30 Source: Intel & Broadcom (April 2007) M 1G 10G 40G 100G 10 year transition for 1G Ethernet 6 years for 10GBE 5 years for 40GBE

14 millions server units What it Means for Data Center? 10G Backbone fiber is prevalent now Two-core system 40G/100G on Multimode fiber is next Parallel Transmission 8-Cores for 40G 20-Cores for 100G Much higher Fiber Utilisation M 1G 10G 40G 100G

15 Fiber Cabling in Data Center Backbone cabling Horizontal Cabling over 100m SAN

46 Additional Man-days Fiber Data Center - Baseline Time Differential Pre-t erminat ed SC E/ P LC QC E/ P MT-RJ NE/ NP Source: Is Pre-terminated Prudent for Your Project?, Herb Congdon (BISCI Conference, Fall 2006)

47 Fiber Data Center Scenario - Summary Pre-terminated solutions Reduced installed cost by ~10% compared to epoxy/polish ~15% cost premium over no-epoxy/no-polish Reduced installation time by ~10 days compared to epoxy/polish Reduced installation time by ~2 days compared to noepoxy/no-polish Source: Is Pre-terminated Prudent for Your Project?, Herb Congdon (BISCI Conference, Fall 2006)

48 Cable Mangement Implication Cables should be placed in pathways adhering to recommended fill rates BICSI recommends 60% maximum fill for cable tray Cable trays should be sized to accommodate growth or change if necessary Separation should be in place to accommodate media or change. Many data centers used tiered cable trays: Top tray - Most accessed cables Lower tray (s) Fixed / Permanent cabling Plan pathways to accommodate media OD and weight for structure
