Course Outline
This three-hour course provides an introduction to the telecommunications distribution system planning, design, and estimating for different facilities. The course materials are based entirely on the Military Handbook MIL-HDBK-1012/3, Telecommunications Premises Distribution Planning, Design, and Estimating.
Learning Objective
The purpose of this course is to provide an understanding to the planning, design, and estimating of the telecommunication distribution systems in different buildings.
At the conclusion of the course the student will be familiar with the requirements for telecommunications pathways and cabling necessary to support voice, data, and video systems permanently installed in a facility.
At the conclusion of this course, given the square footage of a proposed facility and its function, the student will be able to quantify and estimate the following telecommunication cabling items:
- The maximum number of generic workstations per floor
- The amount of copper and/or fiber optic horizontal cables required
- The type and size of horizontal pathways
- The number of telecommunication closets and their sizes
- The size of the copper and fiber optic local area network (LAN) vertical cables
- The number of vertical ducts or sleeves serving each floor
- The size of the fiber optics and/or copper entrance cables
- The size of
the cable entrance facility, including the service entrance
This course contains specific examples, with practical emphasis on planning, design and estimating of the telecommunication systems for different facilities.
