Growth of Converged Systems
So what is a ConvergeIT System? Convergence is the bringing together of autonomous systems onto a common communication platform within a building or business to create a single unified solution Ethernet Network Communication: Copper or Fibre BMS Structure ICT Network

Structured Wiring Utilising your current DNA Why use structured cabling for building distributed services? Eliminates proprietary cabling Redundant pathways reduced Low voltage cabling becomes managed Provides migration path to IP devices Asset control Reduced labour/costs/rapid deployment MAC costs reduced Supports energy conservation Technically supported by BS EN 50173-6
Distributed Systems BS EN 50173-6 Supporting two architectures Type A: Generic cabling (twisted pair or fibre) which will support the Service Outlet (SO). CD MD SD SCP SO TE Campus backbone cabling sub-system Building backbone cabling sub-system Service distribution cabling sub-system Service area cabling Generic Cabling System The generic cabling must be able to support the broadest set of existing and emerging applications within the environmental conditions: 1. Consideration for Cat 6A (Class E A ) & Category 7A (Class F A ) 2. Consideration for PoE applications & remote powered devices
Distributed Systems BS EN 50173-6 Supporting two architectures Type B: Generic cabling (twisted pair or fibre) to the Service Concentration Point (SCP) providing opportunity for: a)application specific cabling to be installed between the SCP and terminal equipment b) Application specific cabling to be connected at the SCP TE TE Connection configured as plug socket CD MD SD SCP TE TE TE Connection directly attached to cabling Campus backbone cabling sub-system Building backbone cabling sub-system Area feeder cabling sub-system Application specific cabling Generic Cabling System
Advantages of using a SCP An SCP allows coverage area connections to be easily reconfigured Consolidation Points (CP) for voice and data and SCP s for BAS applications can coexist within the same zone box We need to move away from thinking of drops per user, but the number of IP applications/ services needed According to the Continental Automated Buildings Association (CABA), MAC work is most efficiently performed on a zone-style converged cabling system In this case, cost savings to perform MAC work are boosted from the 15% estimated for a non zone-style converged cabling system to 38%!
Redundancy Additional redundant pathway designs are recommended to support multiple routes for Cabling Subsystems Redundant cabling should be installed in different directions using different pathways Security and safety requirements may mandate redundancy for specific BAS applications Connection of functional elements providing redundancy for Type A generic cabling
Allowed distributed device connection topologies Three physical device connections using a star topology: Star Bridged Connection Chained Connection Two physical device connections using multipoint bus and ring topologies: Multipoint bus Multipoint ring/fault tolerant circuit
Coverage area cables Coverage area cables are used for connecting the SCP to a building automation system device or the cable between two building automation system devices Maximum length is determined by: Application Topology used number of devices served by the same Cabling Subsystem type A or type B Note: Some applications may limit coverage area cables to 5 meters
Zone-style Star topology IP-based surveillance system Camera Recoding, Playback and optional Controller Software SCP located in a Zone Box Horizontal Cable Equipment Outlet (optional if zone box is present) Distributor A (Patch Panel) Camera Video Server PoE Switch
Example of a zone converged cabling design Benefits: Ease of deployment Facilitates the use of trunking cables Improved pathway utilization MAC work Costs less Is faster and less disruptive Supports rapid reorganization of floor space
Example zone box to device connections TO SO Lighting Controller TO SO Access Controller IP Camera MAX 24-port Zone Unit Enclosure Spare outlet for future use
Cabling choices for Type A & B Cabling The generic cabling must be able to support the broadest set of existing and emerging applications within the environmental conditions: 1. Maintain cabling type as network infrastructure 2. Consideration for Cat 6A & Cat 7A 3. Consideration for PoE applications & remote powered devices

ISO 11801: Length Recommendation 15m minimum length for the permanent link What about large telecommunication rooms? What about between cabinets in the data centre? Siemon Z-MAX System Short 3m minimum length with guaranteed channel performance above 3dB (ISO limits). That is almost 6dB over ANSI/TIA Standards for NEXT 10dB Guaranteed ANEXT performance Fully compliant to ISO 11801 Amd 1 & Amd 2. Fast Termination
Copper: Power over Ethernet EN 50173-1 For copper cables operating temperatures above 20 o C the length of the backbone (installed cable) should be reduced: - 0.2% per o C for screened cables and, - 0.4%.per o C (20 o C to 40 o C) & 0.6% (40 o C to 60 o C) for U/UTP cables Question: What is the average temperature range in the summer and add to this the heat effects that will be caused by PoE
Power feeding BAS devices Current on individual conductors shall be limited to values that will not cause the temperature of any part of the cable to exceed the temperature rating of the cable Bundling of cables further reduces current carrying capacity Installed cabling used for BAS applications shall not be used to supply continuous power in excess of 100 VA # #
Transmission and field test requirements Cabling Subsystems type A & B performance should be performed using permanent link requirements between Distributor and equipment outlet or between Distributor and SCP When links are tested, the test shall be performed without a bridge or bus connections Refer to EN 50346 for information on transmission and field testing requirements
Zone boxes Zone box capacity is determined by: Number of work areas supported by a CP Number of BAS devices supported by an SCP Connection scheme (i.e. Interconnects or cross-connects You will also need to consider: Accessibility Security
Coverage area and planning The Coverage Area is defined as the space served by one BAS device A single cabling Subsystem may serve more than one coverage area Each BAS application required for the building project should be considered when determining the density of coverage areas and devices BAS devices may have overlapping coverage areas depending on their application Spare growth capacity should also be considered when designing the cabling infrastructure #
Zone box location Zone box location can be based upon guidance provided in ISO/IEC 24704, EN 50173-6 and TIA TSB-162 for wireless access point positioning A coverage area radius of 12 meters is generally recommended as an optimum size to accommodate most converged cabling networks #
EN 50173-6 Recommended coverage areas Premises Areas SCP Area Served by SCP (a) Notes Plant Room 5m 2 Contains air handlers, chillers, boilers, pumps, fans, compressors etc. Dedicated Office 25m 2 The area served in open office may be greater than 25m 2 Retail 25m 2 Personnel management may require reduction in area served Hotel 25m 2 Area served may vary if service is centrally managed Hospital 25m 2 Average value: Each type of hospital should be specifically designed Classroom 25m 2 Average value: Each type of classroom should be specifically designed Indoor Parking 25m 2 Industrial 50m 2 Area served will depend on manufacturing process, building design and environment (a) The SCP should be either a room or the areas shown within a large room/space
Connections to BAS devices It is paramount to ensure that the coverage area cable or the equipment cord is compatible with the BAS device Special connectors may be required to connect to the BAS device #
Spaces and distributors Spaces containing Distributors should serve coverage areas for the same floor in which the telecommunications cables resides These rooms should be optimized to support the installation and administration of BAS cabling as well as associated equipment including the BAS controller #
