Zone Power and Data Distribution

Zone Cabling

Fiber optic cable (as opposed to copper in Category 5) is run to each cluster and connected to users with Cat 5. In the event of a reconfiguration the fiber can be unplugged and relocated so the only Cat 5 cable that needs to be rethreaded is that between the end of the fiber and each workstation.

Benefits:

• 50% savings on adds, moves, changes
• Better data integrity because the fiber optic cable ends much closer to each workstation
• With Herman Miller in-panel or under-worksurface cabinet options you save on expensive real estate costs

Consolidation Points

Requires one Category 5 cable per workstation. Cannot simply unplug and relocate. In the event of a reconfiguration, each effected cable must be removed back to the consolidation point and rethreaded.

Home Run Cabling

One Category 5 cable is run to each workstation. In the event of a reconfiguration, each effected cable must be removed back to the entry point and rethreaded.

Available as a rack that fits within an Ethospace frame or as a freestanding cabinet to work with all of Herman Miller's other systems products.
