...Unit 4 Assignment 1 Copper vs. Fiber Pape The two most common and widely used cabling types today for the means of communication all over the world are copper and fiber. They both do the same thing, transmit information from point A to point B but both have their strengths and weaknesses and therefore, a person installing cabling may be reluctant to choose one over the other. Copper cabling is less expensive to install. Copper wiring is flexible when installing so incase a technician has to bend it around a wall or at a certain angle to reach it to an end point, the cable can handle it. Also equipment to support copper wiring is relatively inexpensive to run. The weaknesses to copper wiring would be that it is susceptible to electromagnetic inference (EMI) from outside forces and also has a higher rate of corrosion over time by oxidation. Fiber optic cabling is a more expensive option for communications. Fiber optic cabling is immune to EMI and other noise interferences and therefore the chance of signal loss is greatly reduced. One drawback on this type of cabling is that just like its copper; fiber optic cabling is very durable and tough making it harder to work with when it comes to installing it. A technician will have to be very well trained in handling it to get the most out of it for the customer. But fiber optic cabling has a much higher bandwidth over copper so it can handle much more traffic as well as at higher speeds than copper wiring. In the real world, one...

...Physical Networking Unit 2 Assignment 1. The American National Standards Institute is a private non-profit organization that oversees the development of voluntary consensus standards for products, services, processes, systems, and personnel in the United States. The organization also coordinates U.S. standards with international standards so that American products can be used worldwide. For example, standards ensure that people who own cameras can find the film they need for that camera anywhere around the globe. ANSI accredits standards that are developed by representatives of standards developing organizations, government agencies, consumer groups, companies, and others. These standards ensure that the characteristics and performance of products are consistent, that people use the same definitions and terms, and that products are tested the same way. ANSI also accredits organizations that carry out product or personnel certification in accordance with requirements defined in international standards. 2. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE, read I-Triple-E) is a non-profit professional association headquartered in New York City that is dedicated to advancing technological innovation and excellence. It has more than 400,000 members in more than 160 countries, about 51.4% of whom reside in the United States. IEEE is one of the leading standards-making organizations in the world. IEEE performs its standards making and maintaining functions through the...

Application (in terms of cabling infrastructure): The application layer is the OSI layer closest to the end user, which means both the OSI application layer and the user interact directly with the software application. When determining resource availability, the application layer must decide whether sufficient network or the requested communication exists.. (OSI_model#Layer_7:_application_layer) 2.

In the image to the right, is an example of the different network cables you're likely to encounter. (/jargon/u/utpcable.htm) 3. Shielded Twisted-pair: Twisted Pair (STP) has a fine wire mesh surrounding the wires to protect the transmission; Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) does not. Shielded cable is used in older telephone networks, network, and data communications to reduce outside interference. In the picture to the right, is an example of what these cables look like inside.

...T(X) and SONET Digital Hierarchy Digital Transmission Hierarchies are made up of two main structures of digital networks. These two structures are known as Synchronous and Plesiochronous hierarchies. These relate to the transmission standards for all public telecommunication networks. Plesiochronous tasks the higher level multiplexers with "bit stuffing" techniques which inserts one or more bits of data into a single transmission unit to produce a signal to the receiver. (Rouse, 2014) Synchronous Hierarchy has all multiplexer units operating in accordance with common source clocks. (Rouse, 2014) SONET (Synchronous Optical Network) is Under the Synchronous model in the North American Hierarchy. SONET was developed in the 1980s and ,much like T(x), it was designed to carry large amounts of data over long distances and uses fiber optic cabling to transmit data on the network at very high speeds. SONET is based on the fundamental rate of 50.84 MBPS defined as Synchronous Transport Signal Level 1, or STS-1, which contrasts the International Synchronous Digital Hierarchy fundamental rate. The International Synchronous Digital Hierarchy has a fundamental rate of 155.520 MBPS, defined as STM-1 (Synchronous Transport Module Level 1). (Goleniewski, 2007) T(x) or T-Carrier, is the network standard in the North American region for Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) and uses a rate of 64Kbps per channel. T(x) was developed in 1957 by AT&T to support voice transmission pulse-code modulation...

...these seven diagrams there are a Top View, logical, administrative, radiology, and radiology information system data center, information technology data center, and includes the ward floors, the operating room and the intensive care unit. In each section there is a complete detailed description of the network diagrams. Starting with the top view diagram representing the hospital structure from an Information Technology network perspective there are two segments of the network which are the clinical functions and the administrative functions. In the clinical areas include the emergency room and operating room, pharmacy, the labs, radiology, intensive care units, the doctor’s personal offices, and the wards. In the administrative areas are the information technology department, admitting and discharge, human resource, finance, the hospital senior management, and the facilities. The backbone network structure for the entire hospital is 1000 BaseT. According to "1000base-T Delivering Gigabit Intelligence" (n.d.), “1000BASE-T specifies Gigabit Ethernet operation over the Category 5 cabling systems installed according to the specifications of ANSI/TIA/EIA-568A (1995). 1000BASE-T also supports 1000 Mbps operation over the newest emerging EIA/TIA cabling specifications Category 5e”.

...INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY & RESOURCE REPLACEMENT Information Technology adheres to the CoC Technology Replacement Program that requires computer infrastructure components be replaced every three years. This document establishes the procedures regarding this program. The Technology Replacement Program (TRP) is designed to support the IT goals and objectives of achieving stable, predictable and reliable computers systems. This program ensures sufficient money is set aside to keep our computer infrastructure current, without the need to perform periodic, large-scale systems upgrades. The TRP is designed to level out the cost and disruption of upgrading major IT infrastructure over a 3-year period. Strategy: There are 3 distinct options for building the CoC infrastructure. Deciding on which strategy to employ depends on what needs to be accomplished with computer technology at the CoC. Analogy: Purchase a high performance sports car? Maybe an old used truck? More likely, a new Minivan? In terms of technology, we could be the defacto leader in city government relating to automated systems, despite the costs. Basically, technology for technology’s sake; it’s cool, so we need it. We could allow each city department to solve their own business problems using their own technology strategies, resources and methods. But perhaps to implement efficient and effective automated systems within acceptable business constraints is the optimal solution; basically, buy what you can afford...
