INTRODUCTION
This manual defines a telecommunications cabling system for commercial office buildings. The methods defined in the manual cover the design principles and installation practices of the Siemon Structured Cabling. This manual is a living document and is subject to change in form and content as telecommunications standards and Siemon Structured Cabling evolves.
The material used in this manual is based on the published documents and non-published drafts of local regional standards such as CENELEC through to and including ISO and TIA standards. The descriptions of the standards referred to in this manual can be found in the References section of this manual. The material covered in this manual is expected to be useful to a broad range of people interested in telecommunications including: national and local access providers, equipment designers and manufacturers, building owners, contractors and architects, as well as any company involved in the sale, installation, and maintenance of telecommunications equipment and services. The methodology described in this manual can be applied to new construction as well as the execution of moves, adds and changes (MAC's) to the telecommunications infrastructure.
PURPOSE
The primary purpose of this manual is the standardisation of design and installation methods and practices for telecommunications cabling systems within commercial buildings. In this context, the term "commercial building" pertains to office environments whose occupants use voice, data, image and other services as part of their daily activities. Examples of such office environments include commercial businesses, government agencies, educational institutions, health care facilities and service organisations. Proper design and installation of the structured cabling system specified in this manual will assure its compatibility with a broad range of applications with little or no prior knowledge of the telecommunications systems to be used.
This manual identifies numerous minimum requirements, some of which exceed the minimum requirements of the CENELEC, ISO and TIA and standards that must be followed for registration of installations under the Siemon Extended Product Warranty.

Backbone (Cabling and Pathways)
Work Area (Cabling, Pathways and Spaces)
Telecommunications Spaces (Closet, Equipment Room and Entrance Facility)
Design and Installation Practices

Design Guidelines
The Siemon Structured Cabling system may be applied to a single building or to multiple buildings that are configured in a campus environment. This DLI manual provides guidance with both requirements and recommendations for topology, cabling distances, acceptable media, transmission performance for telecommunications outlets, as well as connector types and pin/pair assignments. The information in this manual is optimised for premises having a geographical span of up to 2,000 metres, with up to 1,000,000 m2 of office space, and a population between 50 and 50,000 persons.
Connection to Equipment
The scope of' the Siemon Extended Product Warranty covers the cables and connecting hardware associated with the telecommunications infrastructure. Active equipment (voice, data, and image systems), are outside the scope of this manual, however, requirements and recommendations for the connection of active equipment to the cabling system are provided as they relate to cabling system performance.
