Course Overview
Course overview
This CommScope NETCONNECT course is approximately 75% hands-on, and prepares the individual to handle the many design criteria decisions associated with premises cabling systems. The student will progress through a step-by-step process from the initial design analysis through the final project presentation. There is an emphasis on the design parameters and guidelines of the ANSI/TIA and ISO/IEC standards, and the decisions that the designer has to make regarding network platforms and technologies, cabling architectures, and media selection.
Objectives
Objectives
- Learn what information gathering is necessary at the project offset
- Understand the standards that influence and dictate design
- Make clear the steps required in a successful infrastructure design project
- Practice network design through a number of real world design projects and workshops
- Successfully present your design as part of small work groups
- Gain confidence and skills from the focus on design quality and innovative design choices
Audience
- Designers, Consultants and experienced installers involved in Premises Cabling project planning, implementation and certification and are designing with the CommScope NETCONNECT premises solution and who prefer to take a class rather than the Online SP3000 version of the ACT III course. (May not be available in all regions).
Prerequisites
Prerequisities for this course
- Ideally students will have had some exposure to the enterprise infrastructure market but this is not mandatory.
