Case Study - UNM - Transmission Media (Cont.)

• Cables between zone hubs (the backbone) include 48 multimode and 12 single mode fibers.
• The extra fibers provide “scalability” for future needs.
• In general, fibers strung in existing tunnels and conduits. Conduits had to be installed to some buildings.
• Fiber patch panels exist in building wiring centers and zone hubs. This can support any topology and allows any building to be connected to any other building “directly” by appropriate patching.
