In the era of data center explosion, attention should be paid to network cabling

With the advent of the big data era, all kinds of data are experiencing explosive growth. How data centers can achieve data storage, how to ensure data security, how to simplify the structure, and other issues are on the agenda. The cabling system is an important part of the data center infrastructure, connecting various key facilities, but people lack due attention to the cabling system.

What challenges will data centers face as big data explodes?

Higher requirements for personnel: As my country's banking, Internet and other industries continue to pay attention to data centers, the market size of basic data center cabling continues to expand, which puts higher requirements on the quality of personnel in the cabling industry, which originally lacks professional and technical personnel.

Greater market demand: According to statistics, 70% of the market share is an oligopoly formed by international cabling brands specializing in the field of data centers. Since the data center cabling market has much higher requirements for product professionalism, product quality and reliability than the traditional cabling market, especially for optical fiber, there is still a considerable gap between cabling brands. The construction and application of large data centers have greatly promoted the development of optical fiber cabling technology, put forward new and higher requirements for optical fiber cabling in data centers, and generated new technical topics, which promoted the development of data center cabling technology, guided the direction of data center cabling product technology, and thus produced a mainstream effect in the cabling market.

Technology matching is more difficult: As the metropolitan backbone network develops from 40G to 100G or even higher transmission capacity, copper cable transmission quickly leaps to FTTX technology using 100M or even 1000M transmission rate of optical cable. The development of high-bandwidth communication technology is changing people's lifestyles, and the amount of data exchange and storage generated has reached an astonishing amount. The rapid growth of transmission traffic requires matching data centers to support its business applications.

Issues that need to be paid attention to in data center network integrated wiring

In the process of integrated wiring in the data center, it is particularly important to reasonably plan the new lines and effectively manage the lines. When facing these complex situations, it is particularly important to pay attention to these issues in the early stage of wiring.

In the integrated wiring project, all metal parts, such as shielded wiring cables and connector shielding layers, both ends of metal pipe troughs, outdoor cable metal components, security units, power socket PE lines, racks, chassis, etc., must be grounded for protection. At the same time, when the newly added lines need to use Ethernet switches in the network to handle the newly added lines, it should be specifically noted that before scientific and reasonable planning is carried out, the rash use of Ethernet switches will bring unknown factors and unstable risks to the entire network. These minor problems also have many errors and problems that are easy to occur or intentional during construction during the implementation of integrated wiring, which should be given enough attention.

Data centers undergoing transformation and upgrading must understand the cabling layout, which involves network, energy and other infrastructure cabling. At the same time, with the continuous development of technology, network cable management has been further improved, partly due to data center renovation projects.
