Data and Network Infrastructure

Cabling, cabinets and switches, built with the systems they carry.

Station data and network infrastructure, from LAN and fibre cabling to switches, cabinets and containment, delivered within station system projects.

Overview

The network under CCTV, CIS and control rooms

TDM installs the network under a station system with the CCTV, customer information, control room or enabling works it carries.

  • LAN networks
  • Copper and fibre cabling
  • Switches and node cabinets
  • Containment and dedicated routes
Fibre and copper cabling terminated in a station node cabinet

Cabling and cabinets

CAT6, OM4 fibre and the cabinets between

TDM installs the CAT6 and OM4 fibre links, the switches, the external cabinets and node cabinets, and the containment that carries the cabling between them.

It also runs fibre and CAT5e to new gatelines, and CAT6 from IT cabinets to new data points.

What station systems need and what TDM installsCCTV and customer information systems need data connectivity, power and somewhere to house the equipment. TDM installs the CAT6 and OM4 fibre links and switches, the electrical installation, the external and node cabinets, and the containment that carries the cabling between them.What systems needWhat TDM installsData connectivityPowerEquipment housingCAT6 and OM4 fibreLinks between equipment, cabinets and nodesSwitchesElectrical installationExternal and node cabinetsHouse and connect station equipmentContainmentCarries the cabling between themWhat systems needWhat TDM installsData connectivityPowerEquipment housingCAT6 and OM4 fibreLinks between equipment, cabinets and nodesSwitchesElectrical installationExternal and node cabinetsHouse and connect station equipmentContainmentCarries the cabling between them

How it fits

How it relates to the systems above it

  • CCTV. Switches, external cabinets and network infrastructure connect cameras to recording and to the control room.
  • Customer information systems. Containment, cabling and electrical installation carry data and power to each display.
  • Control rooms. TDM provided the LAN and supporting equipment for a security operations centre video wall and its sources.
  • Enabling works. In a multi-system programme across several stations, TDM delivered cabling, cabinets and dedicated routes alongside civil and electrical works.

Operational support

The network path monitoring depends on

Operational monitoring depends on the network path between field assets, station infrastructure and the maintenance or control environment. Connectivity monitoring on that path can identify communication failures affecting operational systems before they are reported from site.
