Project Description

Reed Smith, one of the 15 largest law firms in the world with more than 1,500 lawyers, have consolidated its London operations by relocating from two legacy sites to a single new London Headquarters at Broadgate Tower, London. As part of the fit out Able Data were contracted to install 6,000 data outlets distributed over thirteen floors. The installation time spent on site was greatly reduced thanks to the use of pre-terminated cable looms, which were manufactured and tested off site. One of the key challenges to solve was the running of a fibre and copper cable backbone over thirty floors from the IT computer room at the foot of the building to the office floors.

Contact Dr Jonathan Moffett Ashmolean Museum, Beaumont Street, Oxford OX1 2PH

Contract £200K

Systems Molex Cat6

Installed Dec 2008 - Oct 2009

Builder BAM

Project The Ashmolean Museum, dating from the 17th century, is the oldest public museum in the UK. Award-winning architect Rick Mather created a new building that has doubled the Ashmolean’s gallery space and state-of-the-art facilities. In November 2009, the £61M redevelopment opened to the public. Able Data installed a structured cabling system, consisting of nearly a thousand outlets, spread over 6 floors of the new building extension. Each of the 13 remote patch cabinet locations had a fibre & copper backbone linking to the Basement computer room. As well as the provision of the computer cabinets at each location Able Data supplied & installed an APC UPS & 3Comm Switch. The biggest challenge was the complexity and range of cable routes. Whilst some outlets are located in low floor boxes, others for high gallery points (overhead projectors etc) are at more than eight metres high. Another challenge was fitting cabling around a complex building program; many outlets could not be terminated or tested until after the exhibition cabinets had been installed.

Location Tonbridge, Kent

Contract £2.5M

Systems Systimax Cat 6, LazrSPEED 300 OM3, iPatch, CPI Patch Frames

Installed Jul – Oct 2009

Project Description

Fidelity International is a world-wide leading investment provider. As part of their UK data centre consolidation strategy, Fidelity required a new Data Centre facility at its HQ facility at Tonbridge. Spread over two underground data halls and two office floors, the project required the installation of 30,000 Cat6 copper links and 11,000 OM3 duplex fibre links to 300 Rittal cabinets and used more than 700km of cable. All links connect to a patch field of 80 x CPI patch frames, each monitored with the iPatch Intelligent patch system. The Data Centre was cabled overhead on three levels of CPI ladder racking. One of the biggest challenges faced by Able Data was to deliver the required high quality of cabling. To work out the optimum cable routing schemes, Able Data built an offsite mock up of a row of patch frames and the associated cables. To speed up installation whilst minimising unsightly cable slack, Able Data single end pre-terminated all copper and fibre links. The entire installation was completed over a 14 week period. As well as building and configuring a 40,000 port iPatch system to manage patching and monitor network devices, Able Data implemented additional bespoke functionality tailored to Fidelity’s requirements, including auto server provisioning.

Contractor Direct

Project Description

EBay required a new cabling system for its new J9 HQ building in Berlin. This was to be based upon the eBay US model of cabling and would form the 1st of a number of similar installations around Europe. Able Data installed 2,000 SYSTIMAX outlets over five floors. As per the eBay standard, these were implemented in groups of four on US style faceplates. To fit in with the strong eBay logo branding, the outlets were implemented using coloured jacks, yellow and green (Cat6 for data) and blue and red (Cat5e for voice). These were cabled back to the patch rooms through three cables, the voice outlets sharing one cable. As well as a number of local patch rooms, the project also involved the installation of a data centre. All were built using CPI open frame racks for patching and servers, including full overhead ladder racking. The impressive effect was further enhanced in the data centre by the installation of an overhead Panduit Fibrerunner system for the containment of the fibre interconnections. A crucial aspect of the project was the logistics of shipping specialist materials from UK, US and other parts of Europe in short timescales.

Project Description

Debenhams has an ongoing program of opening new stores. In each they install a structured cabling system to serve the shop floor tills and pay points as well as the general offices. It is Debenhams policy to use SYSTIMAX PowerSUM cabling throughout. By the nature of shop premises, most of the cabling work is in the ceiling void, requiring the extensive use of platforms. Each store floor will normally have its own cabling cabinet. These cabinets are joined to the master cabinet via either fibre or copper interlinks, depending on the distances involved. Part of this project involved the fast track conversion of three Alders stores to Debenhams in March 2005. This involved the use of three separate cabling teams working on the different sites.
