COURSE OVERVIEW:

The purpose of this course involves the comprehensive planning and engineering of the infrastructure required to distribute telecommunications services within buildings and across campus environments. A well-designed distribution system ensures seamless connectivity, scalability, and reliability for voice, data, and video signals. This program provides the foundational knowledge needed to navigate the complex standards and codes that govern structured cabling and telecommunications pathways.

The scope of this training encompasses the design of horizontal and backbone cabling systems, telecommunications rooms, and entrance facilities. Participants will explore the technical specifications of copper and fiber-optic media, as well as the design of wireless access point layouts. The curriculum is structured to address the coordination required between architects, electrical engineers, and IT professionals to ensure that telecommunications needs are integrated into the overall building design.

Coverage includes the administrative and physical aspects of system distribution, such as grounding, bonding, and space management. Attendees will learn how to calculate pathway capacities, design equipment racks, and specify firestopping requirements for cable penetrations. By focusing on industry standards like TIA/EIA and BICSI, the course ensures that participants can design telecommunications distribution systems that are future-ready and compliant with global safety and performance benchmarks.

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

After completion of this course, the participants will be able to:

• Analyze building architectural plans for telecommunications requirements.
• Design horizontal cabling systems using twisted-pair and optical fiber.
• Engineer backbone cabling architectures for multi-story and campus environments.
• Specify requirements for telecommunications rooms and entrance facilities.
• Calculate cable pathway fills ratios and support structure capacities.
• Design effective grounding and bonding systems for telecom infrastructure.
• Implement wireless network distribution strategies within indoor spaces.
• Select appropriate media based on bandwidth, distance, and environment.
• Design equipment rack layouts and cable management systems.
• Specify firestopping materials and methods for cable penetrations.
• Create comprehensive telecommunications design documentation and drawings.
• Ensure compliance with TIA/EIA, ISO, and local building codes.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This course is intended for Telecommunications Designers, Network Engineers, Electrical Consultants, Project Managers, and Facilities Managers involved in the planning of structured cabling systems.

TRAINING COURSE METHODOLOGY:

A highly interactive combination of lectures, discussion sessions, and case studies will be employed to maximize the transfer of information, knowledge, and experience. The course will be intensive, practical, and highly interactive. The sessions will start by raising the most relevant questions and motivating everybody to find the right answers. The attendants will also be encouraged to raise more of their questions and to share in developing the right answers using their analysis and experience. There will also be some indoor experiential activities to enhance the learning experience. Course material will be provided in PowerPoint, with necessary animations, learning videos, and general discussions.

The course participants shall be evaluated before, during, and at the end of the course.

COURSE CERTIFICATE:

National Consultant Centre for Training LLC (NCC) will issue an Attendance Certificate to all participants completing a minimum of 80% of the total attendance time requirement.
