APPLICATION REPORT mnicom Management Services (OMS) is a business unit of Omnicom Group (NYSE: OMC), a strategic holding company that manages a portfolio of global advertising, media services and specialty communications companies. OMS provides human resources, financial, operational and network infrastructure services to Dallas- based Omnicom-owned companies. Linking a 10-Floor Gigabit Ethernet LAN When OMS set out to renovate ten floors it was leasing in a downtown Dallas high-rise office building for its new corporate headquarters, the company needed a robust and reliable structured cabling system. According to Kenny Gallaher, Manager of Network Operations, OMS sought a state-of-the-art system capable of supporting the high bandwidth demands of a single Gigabit Ethernet LAN which would link company operations scattered between the 17th and 34th floors. Each of the nine Omnicom subsidiaries would then lease the LAN core and PBX infrastructure. As its partner in this initiative, OMS selected TechKnowledge Consulting Corporation, a Texas- Omnicom Deploys KRONE ® TrueNet ™ C6T ™ Cabling System to Support Corporate Headquarters‘ High-Speed Gigabit Ethernet LAN In renovating a Dallas, Tx. high-rise, the renowned global advertising and media services firm sought a future-proof cabling infrastructure to support its ten-floor Gigabit Ethernet LAN. O Omnicom Management Services, a business unit of Omnicom Group, provides financial, operation and network infrastructure services to Dallas-based Omnicom-owned communications companies. 1 APPLICATION REPORT based telecommunications system design and consulting firm. Jeff Chauza, RCDD, and the TechKnowledge team were responsible for assisting OMS in evaluating marketplace choices and issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) to qualified vendors relative to cabling infrastructure and design. Chauza also managed the entire installation, which was done by Orius Corp. of Carrollton, Tx. “The goal for OMS’s cabling infrastructure was to install a high-performance, end- to-end communications system that would fully-support all foreseeable applications,” Chauza noted. “Ultimately, OMS chose the KRONE ® TrueNet ™ C6T ™ Structured Cabling System.” OMS’s Gallaher explained: “We selected the TrueNet Cabling System based upon its patented TrueMatch ™ cabling design that allows for impedance matching of components throughout the system, thereby increasing network performance and reliability. Its modular design allows the system to grow with our network demands, while extending the life expectancy of the product within our environment.” Anatomy of the Omnicom Network Before installing the cabling infrastructure, TechKnowledge prepared detailed diagrams for layout and installation of the network’s Data Center and telecommunications closets, as well as cabling pathways and trays. TechKnowledge also provided for a rigorously documented cable management system consisting of identification markers on all outlets, cables, connecting blocks and racks, so that components can be easily distinguished and referenced to the documentation package. For ease of troubleshooting and maintenance, the floor number, quadrant and sequential outlet number is noted on each ID label. Phase one began with the communications network build-out, installation and testing of Omnicom’s 18th floor marketing organization. Phase two involved build-out, installation and testing of the remainder of the facility. For the network backbone, riser- rated fiber optic cables (FDDI, 62.5/125 micron) and connectors were installed. The TrueNet design specified three cables installed to each individual work outlet (WO) in hard-walled and modular offices, as well as to the main cross-connect (MCC) — also called the Data Center — and telecommunications room (TR) build-outs. The MCC and TRs are connected via high-pair-count copper cables for voice services and individual fiber optic cables for data services. The KRONE TrueNet Installation KRONE’s TrueNet C6T Structured Cabling System provides high-performance connectivity throughout each of OMS’s office floors. The system’s IEEE specifications for signal amplitude are especially important for Gigabit Ethernet, which uses multilevel encoding. This impedance-matched system includes TrueNet C6T cable, Ultim8 ™ blocks, 2 Each work outlet is cabled with the three KRONE TrueNet cables. The middle blue port is designated Data 1 and utilizes Category C6T cable; the white (right) port is designated Data 2 and utilizes Category C5eT ™ cable, and the white (left) port utilizes Category C5eT cable for voice application. All TrueNet cabling is installed according to certified TIA/EIA-568-A, NEC and BICSI TDM specifications. Overall, the OMS network included approximately 1,600 drops. 3 HighBand ™ jacks and TruePatch ™ patch cords. The OMS installation also utilized KRONE ® TrueNet ™ C5eT ™ cabling. On each floor, the system is designed so that each work area outlet is cabled with three KRONE TrueNet cables — one C6T ™ and two C5eT — with the C6T cable being designated as Data 1, one C5eT cable designated as miscellaneous, and the second C5eT cable designated as voice. In reality, since all cables terminate in the same field, on KRONE Ultim8 ™ blocks, all three can be used for multiple voice and data applications (e.g. phone, fax, modem, computer and printer). Approximately 40% of OMS’s work outlets reside within hard- walled offices, with the remaining 60% within modular furniture workstations. In the hard-walled offices, horizontal cables are installed along walls and above doorways. The cables are routed to the center of the room, where they maintain a 10-foot service loop before being routed to the outlet. For modular workstations, all horizontal cabling is routed and concealed within the structures’ walls and within cabling trays in ceilings. In some cases, grid wires and J-hangers were installed to suspend cabling not contained in cable trays. Throughout the OMS facility, all cabling is installed according to certified TIA/EIA-568-A, NEC and BICSI TDM specifications. Overall, the OMS network included approximately 1,600 drops. In each office location, the cables terminate to standard single-gang size communications faceplates with the capacity to terminate four modular jacks. In modular locations, cabling terminates to single-gang size faceplates with capacity for three modular jacks. Wall-mount phone faceplates are also used. Every horizontal cable is terminated in the corresponding TR on a KRONE Ultim8 block. Ultim8 blocks are installed on KRONE’s Universal Mounting System (UMS) brackets. The UMS brackets are mounted to a UMS backboard, with the Ultim8 blocks on the outer brackets to provide a structured pathway (voice cross-connects on the “outer” sides of the Ultim8 kits and data patch cords on their “inner” side). Chauza mandated that the patch cords and cross- connects never be collocated so that each service — voice and data — can easily track their cords. Instead of routing patch cords in the center panel of the UMS backboard, this section is reserved for future Ultim8 blocks. While the three KRONE cables are designated for either voice or data, they all terminate on KRONE Ultim8 blocks, so they could be used for multiple voice and data applications. Active Network Testing is Critical To ensure its warranted TrueNet ™ zero bit error data transmission network performance, KRONE ® provided OMS with active network testing after installation. Because of the critical nature of the OMS Gigabit Ethernet network, Vigilant Networks’ analyzer was used to actively monitor all data center ports. According to Chauza of TechKnowledge: “Active testing was an important factor in the decision for TrueNet. OMS’s motivation for testing was to achieve near 100% uptime by proactively monitoring their network to identify any network or infrastructure problems.” With the OMS network up and running successfully, OMS’s Gallaher is satisfied that the system provides the reliability and flexibility he had hoped for. “With the KRONE TrueNet C6T ™ System and active network testing, we are confident that we can maintain a trouble-free cabling infrastructure. We have also reduced overall cabling moves, adds and changes (MACs), thanks to the flexibility of this system,” Gallaher concluded. Chauza adds: “As designed, the network infrastructure will allow OMS to migrate gracefully to Voice/IP, should they choose to, when the technology matures. Or, they can migrate to Gig-over-copper without replacing the infrastructure or paying a premium for echo-cancellation Gig equipment. Since we installed the Ultim8 ™ kits on the outer brackets, OMS also has the flexibility to add workstation outlets, while still maintaining continuity in the labeling scheme. I believe the system proves that building for the future is a good investment. ” For more information For more information about the KRONE TrueNet System, please call 1-800-775-5766 or visit our Web site at: www.kroneamericas.com.
