Overall PABX rating

Clause Diagnosis Compliance

Clause 4.1.1.6.1 The cables used in the entry Complied
point are above the minimum
clearance set. However, the
conduit containing the entry
cable lacks a weather cap.
Clause 4.1.2.2 The Equipment Room in the Complied
building contained all the
necessary equipment stated in
the standards. The room and the
rack units also have enough
provision for additional
data/voice terminals.
Clause 4.1.3.1 The Telecommunication Rooms Complied
in the building are stacked and
placed in the same location in
every floor. The TRs also have
ample distance from EMI
sources such as the generator
set.
Clause 3.1.1.2 The establishment utilizes a Complied
riser system that has vertical
shafts connecting that
connects the spaces from
floor to floor.
Clause 5.4.1 The building uses a common Complied
grounding system. The
grounding system can be
accessed in the TRs. The
building also has a busbar in
each floor for provisions for
future equipment.
Clause 3.1.1 The cable used for the Complied
horizontal cabling in the
structure were Cat6 twisted
pair cables.
Clause 3.1.1.3 The buildings data and PABX Complied
system used RJ-45 connectors
for their backbone. The same
connectors are used for the
data/voice terminals present in
the classrooms and offices.
Clause 3.3 The structure utilizes a star Complied
topology for their backbone
and horizontal cabling.
 Clause 3.3.4 The backbone of the school Complied
uses fiber optic cables for
their interconnection. The
length of the fiber optics used
are well below the limit set by
the standards.
Clause 3.4.1 The cables used for the Complied
horizontal cabling are Cat6
twisted pair cables. The
longest horizontal cable is
only 66 meters.

After conducting a site inspection and analysis of the technical plans used in the school,
the researchers can say that the university followed all of the standards regarding PABX systems.
The researchers can then give the school a 10 out of 10 overall rating for their data and PABX
systems.
