2.1.3   Component Features¶

3.1   First Floor¶

The first floor is made up of the following elements.

First Floor:

• 30 Network points in total
• 5 Access points
• 4 Boxed VoIP
• 2 24-port patch panel with modular jack, category 6A, 4 pairs
• 1 Optic header with 12 SM OS2 optical fibers and LC Full-Duplex UPC connectors
• 2 24-port switch
• 1 13U wall rack

3.2   Second Floor¶

The second floor is made up of the following elements.

Second Floor:

• 72 Network points in total
• 5 Access points
• 3 24-port patch panel with modular jack, category 6A, 4 pairs
• 3 48-port switch
• 48U rack (A3)

This floor does not consider and optical terminal since the switches used are directly connected to the distribution switch. All of these connections are born from rack A3 located inside the main computer room.

In the following diagram, you can appreciate the various network points and the location of the rack with its connected components.

3.2.1   Second Floor¶

3.3   Third Floor¶

This floor is made up of 2 main connections, these connections feed the 2 sectors located in the third floor.

• Coating chamber
• Camera room (clean room and clean room)
• Level 3 Integration Lab (This is currently not set up with connectivity yet)

All of these connections are born from the computer room located in Rack A7 in the second floor of the main building. Rack A7 also provides connectivity to the rack found in the coating room and the rack found in the Camera room (Clean Room and White Room).

The third floor is made up of the following elements.

3.4   Coating Chamber¶

• 19 Network points in total
• 3 Access points
• 1 24-port patch panel with modular jack, category 6A, 4 pairs
• 1 Optic header with 12 Sm OS2 optical fibers and LC Full-Duplex UPC
• 24-port switch
• 1 6U wall rack

3.4.1   Coating Chamber Image¶

3.5   Camera Room¶

• 34 Network points in total
• 2 Access points
• 2 24-port patch panel with modular jack, category 6A, 4 pairs
• 1 Optic header with 12 Sm OS2 optical fibers and LC Full-Duplex UPC
• 24-port switch
• 1 48U rack

3.5.1   Camera Room Image¶

3.6   Fourth floor¶

There are currenlty no networking requirements for this floor.

3.7   Fifth floor¶

The fifth floor is made up of the following elements.

• 24 Network points in total
• 1 Access points
• 1 24-port patch panel with modular jack, category 6A, 4 pairs
• 1 Optic header with 12 Sm OS2 optical fibers and LC Full-Duplex UPC connectors
• 1 24-port switch
• 1 13U wall rack

In the following diagram illustrates the various network points and the location of the rack.

3.7.1   fifth-floor image¶

This rack is currently located in the electronics laboratory and has 24 fiber optic filaments that connect directly to rack A7 located in the main computer room on the second floor of the main building.

Please note, that all fiber optic connections on the various floors come from the second-floor computer room in rack A7. All the optical terminals from the various floors lead up to the optical headers of this rack.

4.1   Level 3 Integration Lab¶

Please note that a Level 3 test lab environment will be set up in the future as a workaround to solve any networking requirements for the dome or any other inquiries.

The materials contemplated for this lab enviroment are the following:

• 36 fiber-optic connections LC SM OS2 or 18 LC Full duplex ports SM OS2
• 36 fiber-optic connections LC MM OM3 or 18 LC Full duplex ports MM OM3

4.1.1   Level 3 Integration Lab Image¶

To build this lab environment, two types of optical fibers will be used (Single-Mode and Multi-Mode) as shown in the image above. This lab environment will also have an optical terminal on the main pillars of the building located in this area. Each of these terminals will have available 2 types of fiber optic connections, this will depend solely on the equipment connected to these pillars.

Deployment: FY21

In the near future, fiber optic connections will also be set up and installed on the 5th floor of the main building extending all the way up to where the dome is located.

4.2   96 Fiber Optic filament cable deployment¶

It is contemplated to have a 96 fiber optic filament cable that will be setup and installed in the second floor computer room wich will connect the upper floors of the building such as floor 5,6,7 and 8 and any other requirements that might arise.

Deployment 96 Fiber Optic Cable: FY21

4.2.1   Future Floor Image¶

4.3   Fiber Headers¶

The image above illustrates a proposal of how the upper floors will look like in regard to the fiber optic connections on that floor.

Expected Deployment Date: FY21/23

4.4   Electronics Laboratory Fith floor¶

Based on the information provided above, this cable will replace the current connection that’s in place in the electronics laboratory and at the same time, this filament will connect to the Optical fiber splice enclosure (MUFA) located on that floor.

The idea of setting up and installing this connection arose from the fact that we currently haven’t gotten any requirements for the upper floors, and we feel that is necessary to be prepared for such requests in the future.

Expected Deployment Date: FY21

4.5   Fiber Optic headers status¶

The following image illustrates how to current and future optic headers will be setup in Rack A7 of the main computer room located in the second floor. It is expected to have the optic headers install in the following year to come.
