3 Introduction Your Data Center is more than a space that simply houses servers and network equipment it is a system. The term system is defined as a set of interacting or interdependent entities, real or abstract, forming an integrated whole. Within the Data Center, the various entities that make up the system work together to protect and manage both current and future equipment, the data transmitted, and the thousands of connections between servers and switches and the outlying areas of the network. All of these entities are interrelated and connected by the structured cabling system, which designers and end-users are striving to design for better scalability, flexibility, manageability, availability and lower total cost of ownership. Belden understands that designing the Data Center structured cabling system is a complex and often confusing task with many options to weigh and consider, and we re here to help. That is why we ve developed this guide as a living document, adding more configurations over time. General Cabling Considerations Before designing the backbone and horizontal cabling in your Data Center, there are several factors to consider: Scalability Calculate the required life expectancy of the cabling infrastructure by determining current and future requirements for data transmission between functional areas of the Data Center. Ensure ample space to support current and future number of ports, servers and switches. Flexibility and Manageability Clarify how frequently you will need to make moves, adds and changes, and if you anticipate needing to reconfigure functional areas of the Data Center. Also, determine cabling distances and limitations from one functional area to another and ensure ample pathway space to reroute or add more cabling. Availability Determine required uptime for the Data Center and establish level of redundancy for cabling uplinks, power, and cooling. Determine overall level of security for equipment in the Data Center. Total Cost of Ownership Determine current and future cost per square foot of the Data Center based on all scalability, flexibility, manageability and availability requirements. Each of these elements will have a role in determining the design of each of the functional areas of a Data Center and the cabling products selected..800.belden.

4 Introduction (continued) Functional Area The TIA-9 Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard for Data Centers addresses cabling infrastructure in the Data Center and defines specific functional areas to help determine the placement of cabling, components and equipment. Following TIA-9 for functional area layout is the first step in establishing a well-designed cabling infrastructure for your Data Center. MDA/HDA Backbone ER/TR Support Offices Entrance Room The entrance room is the location for access provider equipment, demarcation points and interface with other campus locations. Main Distribution Area (MDA) The MDA houses the main cross-connect and the core routers and switches for the corporate LAN. Horizontal Distribution Area (HDA) The HDA houses cross-connects and active equipment (LAN, SAN, KVM switches) for connecting to the EDA(s). Zone Distribution Area (ZDA) The optional ZDA acts as a consolidation point within the Horizontal Cabling run between the HDA and EDA(s). Equipment Distribution Area (EDA) The EDA is where cabinets and racks house end equipment (servers) and where Horizontal Cabling from the HDA is terminated at patch panels. ZDA Horizontal Backbone Cabling and Horizontal Cabling Backbone Cabling provides connections between the entrance room, MDA and HDA. Horizontal Cabling provides connection between the HDA and EDA, including the ZDA. EDA.800.BELDEN.

5 Data Center Horizontal Cabling Topologies To connect the main core routers and switches in the MDA to the end equipment located in the EDA(s), cabling can be designed in various topologies, each with its own benefits and disadvantages. In a centralized switching topology, Backbone Cabling from the MDA runs to switches in the HDA(s), which connect to the EDA(s) via Horizontal Cabling. This topology can also deploy a ZDA within the Horizontal Cabling. In a distributed topology, the MDA connects directly to the EDA(s) via Horizontal Cabling, eliminating the HDA. To determine which topology is best for your specific Data Center situation, there are several factors to consider: Cabling capacity of pathways to each functional area Ample pathway capacity must be available to converge Horizontal Cabling from EDA(s) to a single HDA. Physical space available for patch panels in the HDA Physical space must be available to locate several patch panels in close proximity to switches. Level of security and protection required for core switches and servers The use of a centralized switching topology in an HDA can limit access to core switches in the MDA and servers in the EDA(s). Support Center Access Providers TR Horizontal Cable Offices, Operations Center, Support Rooms Backbone Cable Primary Entrance Facility Backbone Cable MDA Number of ports deployed in the EDA(s) Small Data Centers may not require HDA(s), whereas large number of EDA ports may be more easily managed in an HDA. Distance limitations to reach each EDA from the MDA Frequency of moves, adds, and changes Making frequent moves, adds, and changes can be more difficult in a distributed topology where several switches are spread out in EDA(s). Backbone Cable HDA Horizontal Cable Backbone Cable HDA Horizontal Cable Multiple HDAs may be required to reach EDA(s) in larger Data Centers. Horizontal Cable ZDA EDA EDA Horizontal Cable or Zone Area Cord Computer Room EDA.800.BELDEN.

6 Topology Number : Centralized with Cross-connect In this topology, Backbone Cabling from the MDA connects to switches in the HDA. All cabling is centralized in one cross-connect in the HDA and distributed from the HDA to multiple EDA(s) or rows. This scenario uses a three-connector channel where Horizontal Cabling runs from the EDA patch panels to the HDA patch panels. The cabling from each switch in the HDA terminates on patch panels that mirror the switch ports. Each switch patch panel (Equipment Field) is then crossconnected to a second patch panel (Cabling Field) that mirrors patch panel ports in each EDA.

7 Topology Number : Centralized with (end-of-row) Cross-connect (continued) Benefits of Centralized Cross-connect Enables permanent connections to switches so that sensitive ports are never touched. Improves flexibility and manageability with all moves, adds, and changes made at the patch panels in the cross-connect. Any switch can be connected to any equipment location. Centralized cross-connect can be placed anywhere in the Data Center to reserve premium cooling space for active equipment. Optimizes cabinet utilization by reserving cabinet space for servers. Keeps equipment secure if necessary. The cross-connect can use either modular patch panels or IDC (Insulation Displacement Connection) blocks. Disadvantages of Centralized Cross-connect May require longer copper cable runs to EDA(s) in large Data Centers. Requires a greater number of terminations and patch panels. Requires ample pathway space to converge cabling from EDA(s) to HDA. Requires more space to accommodate patch panels. Centralized Cross-connect with a ZDA While not widely deployed, a ZDA can be used in the Horizontal Cabling from the HDA to the EDA(s). This scenario uses a four-connector channel where either one or both patch panels of the cross-connect are located within a ZDA (interconnect) or a ZCA (cross-connect). The use of a ZDA means that functional areas can be easily reconfigured within the Data Center, and cross-connects can be located in completely separate areas for maximum security and cooling efficiency. On the other hand, the use of a four-connector channel and ZDA requires the maximum number of terminations/connectors and patch panels. Considerations for cabling in the ZDA include the following: How many copper and fiber ports are required in the ZDA? The performance of minimally compliant connectivity if horizontal cabling between ZDA and HDA is less than meters (9 ft)..800.belden.

8 Topology Number : Partially Centralized with (end-of-row) Inter-connect In this topology, the Backbone Cabling from the MDA is connected to switches in multiple HDA(s) located within an EDA or row, essentially locating network equipment closer to the EDA(s). This scenario uses two-connector channels where Horizontal Cabling runs from the EDA patch panels to the HDA patch panels. To connect a new server to the network, the EDA patch panel port is connected to the switch port. Benefits of Partially Centralized Switching Minimizes distances of copper cabling runs in larger Data Centers. Reduces number of terminations and patch panels. Reduces amount of required pathway space. Patch panels and switches can be located in adjacent racks/cabinets.

9 Topology Number : Partially Centralized with (end-of-row) Inter-connect (continued) Disadvantages of Partially Centralized Switching Reduces security and efficient use of premium cooling space by eliminating ability to locate single HDA anywhere in the Data Center. Reduces manageability with moves, adds, and changes made at patch panels in each row vs. one central location. Reduces flexibility because any switch cannot be easily connected to any equipment location. Reduces scalability because unused switch ports in one row cannot be easily allocated for another equipment row. One-connector Channel with Patch Panels Only in the HDA Point-to-Point Connection Scenario The partially centralized topology can also include a point-to-point connection scenario where switches are located in the HDA separate from the servers in the EDA, but no crossconnect or inter-connect is deployed. This option is the least expensive cabling option as it requires only long patch cords that connect directly from the switch to the server, with no patch panels required. However, the point-to-point scenario makes for difficult moves, adds, and changes, and slack management. This scenario is also a poor return on investment because new patch cords lengths are required when a new server is added, and patch cords are discarded when servers are decommissioned. Another connection scenario for this topology includes a one-connector channel where patch panels are located only in the HDA. Switches connect to patch panels in the HDA, which connect directly to equipment in the EDA. This connection scenario may be used in smaller applications with few equipment ports, but where isolating sensitive switch ports is still desired. One benefit is that the mounting rail in the server enclosures could be used 00% for servers since no patch panels are used in the EDA. However the permanent cabling deployed in the horizontal limits the flexibility..800.belden. 9

10 Topology Number : Distributed In-cabinet (top-of-rack) Switching In this topology, the Backbone Cabling from the MDA is connected directly to switches within each cabinet of the EDA, essentially eliminating the use of an HDA. HDA/EDA SW SVR Benefits of Distributed Topology Reduces cabling complexity. Lowers cabling costs. Reduces amount of required pathway space. Ideal for situations where one specific area of the network must be separately and/or securely controlled. Potentially better ROI if planning to use extremely high bandwidth applications in the near future (0 Gb/s or 00 Gb/s). Cold aisle Hot aisle Cold aisle Switches Direct patch from switch to serve Illustration Legend Distribution Rack Patch Panel Rack Switch Rack Patch Cords Distribution Cables Fiber Cables Pigtails Disadvantages of Distributed Switching Requires costly switches to support ports in each equipment cabinet. Higher initial investment in network equipment. Requires touching sensitive switch ports during moves, adds, and changes. Reduces manageability and flexibility with moves, adds, and changes made within each cabinet. Reduces scalability because unused switch ports in one EDA are not easily allocated for use in another. Hot aisle More difficult to conduct maintenance on switches (i.e., firmware updates) since they are distributed in many locations. SAN/CORE Note: See SAN details on pg..800.belden. 0

11 The Storage Area Network (SAN) As the amount of data and storage required continues to increase, Data Center managers are looking to implement faster backup and retrieval speeds, better scalability to add more storage, and overall better flexibility and manageability. As a result, network storage is now being moved away from other servers to a separate network of its own, known as the SAN. The SAN is strictly dedicated to transmitting large amounts of data between servers and storage devices such as disk arrays, tape libraries, and optical jukeboxes. This is most often accomplished using fiber cross-connect or inter-connect technology for maximum data transfer rates. The use of a centralized SAN cross-connect offers the following benefits: Enables permanent connections to switches so that sensitive ports are never touched. Improves flexibility and manageability with all moves, adds, and changes made at the fiber patch panels in the cross-connect. Any switch can be connected to any equipment location. SAN cross-connect can be placed anywhere in the Data Center for improved security with all switch ports mirrored on fiber patch panels. Cabling Considerations for the SAN When allocating space and designing cabling and connectivity for the SAN, there are many factors and options to consider. Ensure plenty of space for scalability by determining the number of servers connected to the SAN both now and in the future. When deciding between a cross-connect or inter-connect, determine the frequency of moves, adds, and changes and level of security required. When selecting cabling and connector type, and termination method, determine amount of bandwidth required, cabling distance limitations, return loss budget for the application, and level of expertise to connectorize and install fiber. Pre-terminated Solutions For easy, quick, and reliable deployment and reconfigurations in the SAN, pre-terminated solutions are an ideal choice. These connector modules feature multiple pre-terminated fiber connectors on one side that transition to one plug-and-go MPO connector on the other. Pre-terminated solutions can provide the following benefits in a SAN environment: Faster overall deployment. No fiber connectorization expertise required. Fast and easy moves, adds, and changes with plug-and-go application. Easy slack management and protection of fibers. High density for more space and scalability..800.belden.

12 Data Center Cabling Sample Configurations The following Data Center cabling configurations represent typical layouts often encountered in Data Centers, but they are not necessarily connected together within the same Data Center. The information presented in these samples is intended to help the designer of the cabling infrastructure choose the right Belden products to optimize Data Center scalability, flexibility, manageability, availability and lower total cost of ownership. Belden can work with customers to design alternative configurations using the same components to address specific Data Center needs. The configurations detailed on the following pages include: Partially Centralized Inter-connect in a -port HDA. Centralized Cross-connect in a x - port HDA. EDA with 9 Copper Ports from the HDA and 8 Fiber Ports from SAN. Cross-connect Cabling for a 8 X 0- port SAN. More configurations will be added over time. Cable Installation and Routing Guidelines Using back-to-back vertical managers with high-density fingers in the back provides intuitive routing by better guiding the cables. A bundle size of cables is the optimum vertical manager fill ratio. See calculation tables on the following page for capacity. Cables should be inserted in a specific order for proper management: When cabling enters the rack from under-floor cable pathways, bundles of cables intended for the upper patch panels should be routed first. These cables should be placed at the bottom of the channel and then connected. Layers of bundles are then laid in an orderly manner on top of each other with cables connected to patch panels routed from the upper part to lower part of the rack. When cabling enters the rack from overhead cable pathways, bundles of cables intended for the lower patch panels should be routed first. These cables should be placed at the bottom of the channel and then connected. Layers of bundles are then laid in an orderly manner on top of each other with cables connected to the patch panels routed from the lower part to the top of the rack. Managing patch cords from both sides in a patch panel (ports - and -) facilitates patch cord dressing and allows better visibility to the port labeling. Whenever possible, populate patch cords in the patch panels by progressing from the outer ports toward the center. Four Simple Rules for Optimum Patch Cord Management Cable slack must never be left hanging loose in the channel. This can cause bunching of the cords at the bottom. Always use Velcro ties to guide patch cords and manage slack. Always use the shortest cord available for the connection. Create patching zones between Cabling Distribution and Equipment fields..800.belden.

14 Cabling Sample Number : Centralized Cross-connect in a x -port HDA This example demonstrates how to cable a x -port HDA using a centralized crossconnect. The switch patch panels (Equipment Field) located in the center of each rack both contain -port patch panels for a total of ports that mirror switch ports. Those patch panels are then cross-connected to patch panels (Cabling Field) located in the top and bottom of the racks, which mirror patch panel ports in each EDA. HDA Cabling Considerations: Number of ports in each EDA. Distance limitation to reach EDAs. Capacity of pathways converging to HDA. Capacity to install patch panels close to switches. Level of security required in HDA. Frequency of moves, adds, and changes. HDA Cross-connect Installation Tips: AngleFlex patch panels allow intuitive patch cord management and help keep clean HDA connection fields. Locating the Equipment Field in the center of the rack alleviates congestion on vertical channels. Configure AngleFlex patch panels with left/right cable management per installation guidelines supplied with product. Avoid too much patch cord slack for optimum operation. Refer to the table for patch cord length recommendations. HDA Alternatives: Can be assembled in a high-density cabinet (XHD8-Series). See Product Offering. When using the high-density (XHD8 Series) cabinet, use the center and side extension kits (XHD8CXF and XHG8SXF) to increase the capacity of the vertical channels and properly manage patch cords.

19 Cabling Sample Number : Partially Centralized Inter-Connect in a -port HDA This example demonstrates how a -port HDA is cabled using a partially centralized topology with inter-connect. Within this HDA, two -port switches each connect to fourteen -port patch panels via permanent cabling. From each patch panel, cabling terminates to patch panels or equipment in the EDA (not shown). HDA Cabling Considerations: Number of ports in each EDA. Distance limitation to reach EDAs. Capacity of pathways converging to HDA. Capacity to install patch panels close to switches. Level of security required in HDA. Frequency of moves, adds, and changes. HDA Inter-connect Installation Tips: AngleFlex patch panels allow intuitive patch cord management and help keep clean HDA connection fields. Horizontal managers below and above the switch increase flexibility for switch access. Configure AngleFlex patch panels with left/right cable management per installation guidelines supplied with product. Avoid too much patch cord slack for optimum operation. Refer to the table for patch cord length recommendations. Cisco Catalyst switches (shown) should be cabled from the right to avoid blocking the cooling fan. Manage patch cord slack at the patch panel level to avoid congesting the entry of the switch. HDA Installation Alternatives: Can be assembled in a high-density cabinet (XHD8-Series). See Product Offering. When using the high-density (XHD8 Series) cabinet, use the center and side extension kits (XHD8CXF and XHG8SXF) to increase the capacity of the vertical channels and properly manage patch cords.

24 Cabling Sample Number : EDA with 9 Copper Ports from HDA and 8 Fiber Ports from SAN This example demonstrates how to cable an EDA containing 9 copper ports from the HDA and 8 fiber optic ports from the SAN. From the HDA, 9 copper cables terminate to two 8-port high-density patch panels, which in turn connect to UTP ports on the servers. From the SAN, fiber optic cabling terminates to four LC adapter modules each equipped with LC duplex connectors for a total of 8 LC duplex fiber ports. The adapter modules are housed in a high-density U fiber patch panel. EDA Cabling Considerations: Maximum number of servers allowed in enclosure based on power/cooling limitations. Number of copper ports required by each server. Number of fiber ports required by each server. Space for cable and patch cord management, including slack. Space required for additional equipment, such as power and environmental monitoring. EDA Installation Tips: Using 0-inch wide enclosures provides better patch cord management to the servers. Using U 8-port patch panels saves RU for server installation. Assembling 0-inch wide enclosures provides a -inch wide vertical management channel between enclosures. Install the KeyConnect patch panels per the installation guidelines supplied with product. Install the FiberExpress Ultra U shelf per the installation guidelines supplied with product. Use a U horizontal cable manager to route patch cords to the left after exiting from the right of the panel. Route copper and fiber patch cords in two separate vertical channels. Route fiber patch cords on the same side as Cabinet Distribution Units (CDUs). If two CDUs are used in the enclosure, follow power separation guidelines per the TIA-9 standard (Table in section..) to avoid electro-magnetic interference on copper cords. Avoid too much patch cord slack for optimum operation. Refer to table for patch cord length recommendations. Use blanking panels to block unused spaces on the front side of the servers for optimum cooling. EDA Alternatives: Use MPO-LC -fiber Modules (AX09) and Multi-MPO -fiber assemblies (NXC- UPFX-PHXFEN-PHPFEN-O-0000) for quick deployment between EDA and HDA or SAN. If cabling is distributed under raised floor, installing the patch panels at the bottom of the cabinet will simplify cable management within the cabinet..800.belden.

28 Cabling Sample Number : Cross-connect Cabling for a 0-port SAN This example shows how to cable a 0-port SAN using a centralized topology with a crossconnect. A SAN switch containing 8 LC duplex fiber ports connects to 8 LC duplex fiber ports housed in three, U fiber patch panels via permanent cabling. The U fiber patch panels cross-connect to another 0 ports housed in five, U patch panels in the bottom half of the cabinet. From there, fiber optic cabling terminates to fiber patch panels in the EDA. Setting up the SAN as a crossconnect increases security with all switch ports mirrored on fiber patch panels. This set-up offers the possibility to expand the SAN to 0 ports in the future. SAN Cabling Considerations: Number of servers connected to SAN, now and future. Frequency of moves, adds, and changes. Distance limitations. Level of security. Bandwidth required for transmitting data. Fiber connectorization expertise. Loss budget for fiber applications. SAN Installation Tips: The FiberExpress Ultra U shelf terminates LC duplex ports and is perfect for managing a high concentration of fiber connections. Using -fiber LC cable assemblies between the switch and the back of the Equipment Field patch panels enables quick deployment of new equipment cards. Ganging high-density cabinet (XHD8 Series) together creates a -inch wide vertical management channel in the center. Install the FiberExpress Ultra U shelf per the installation guidelines supplied with the product. Avoid too much patch cord slack for optimum operation. Refer to the table for patch cord length recommendations. Use blanking panels to block unused spaces for optimum cooling. SAN Alternatives: Use MPO-LC -fiber Modules (AX09) and Multi-MPO -fiber assemblies (NXC- UPFX-PHXFEN-PHPFEN-O-0000) for quick deployment between EDA and HDA or SAN.
