Horizontal cable these cables run between a cross connect panel in a

telecommunication rom and a telecommunications outlet located near the work
area.
Backbone cave: the cable runs between telecommunications, enclosures and the
main cross connect point of the building usually within the equipment room.
Patch cords: these are used within patch panels to provide the connection
between fields terminated horizontal cables and network connections between the
telecommunications outlets and network devices.
Connectors: serve as the work areas end points for horizontal cable runs.
Conduit: metallic pipe that holds cables and it runs from a work area to a
telecommunications room then from a telecommunications room to an equipment
room
Rack: pieces of hardware that helps in the organization of caballing infrastructure.
Punch down blocks: blocks used as telephone and data system cross connect
devices
Consolidation points: allocation defined by the ansi/TIA/EIA-568B standard for
interconnection between horizontal cables that extend from a building pathways
and horizontal cables that extend that extend into work area pathways.
Crimpers: a tool that is used to install a crimp on connector.
Fish tape: a tool that is used to route wiring through walls and electrical conduit.
When it locates wire cabling.
Cable toner: an electrical device that, when used, emits a beep or tone when
placed near or in to a wall when it locates wire caballing
Continuity tester: an electrical tool device that searches for a break in electrical
pathway for electrical or optical signals
Category 5/6 cables: todays standard internet caballing twisted pair and supports
transmission of frequencies up to 250 MHzs
Binder groups: a group of 25 pairs of wires within a twisted pair cable with more
than 25 total pairs.
Hybrid composite cable: a group that has at least two different types of
transmitting media inside of the same jacket.
Pulling cable: the act of talking cabling off of a spindle type device and running it
along walls, structures, frames supports and such. Usually used inconjuction with
some sort of appropriate lubrication.

Wavelengths of light: the distance an electromagnetic wave through a complete
cycle.
EMI electromagnetic interference it is the electrical noise generated in copper
conductors when electromagnetic fields induce currents.
Optical fiber strands: thin glass or plastic filaments used for transmissions of
information via light signals.
Index of refraction: the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to speed of light in
a given transmission medium.
Cable Jacket: the insolation or protection built on cables to house and protect
wires and cables with in them.
Cladding size: usual the size or thickness for the material that is put around the
core of an optical fiber during the manufacturing process.
Multitier cables: this cable bears many fibers independently sheathed and caped
of carrying unrelated signals
Differential mode delay: this is a variation in the propagation delay caused by
difference in group velocity among modes of an optic fiber.
Chromatic dispersion: this is the spreading of a particular light pals because of
the varying refraction rates of the different colored wavelengths
