Eight types of technologies that promote integrated cabling in smart city construction

    As an independent system, integrated cabling involves multiple fields such as construction, information communication, and control. Cabling can be intelligentized to manage the entire construction and operation period of smart buildings and smart cities. By integrating cabling management and network management with the management of urban integrated pipelines, resource sharing can be achieved. In recent years, integrated cabling has entered a virtuous cycle of development, and strategies such as smart cities and broadband China have driven the industry forward. 

    The development of integrated cabling has entered a virtuous cycle

    According to the survey, basically from last year and this year, the integrated cabling is still growing at a growth rate of more than 10% under the economic crisis. Therefore, overall, the development of integrated cabling in the entire intelligent construction is relatively rapid. In addition, the integrated cabling market has entered a virtuous cycle of development from its initial introduction to the present.

    Because it has entered a virtuous cycle, it mainly depends on the following factors:

    First, the integrated cabling industry can actively introduce foreign standards into China. In addition, it can digest and integrate foreign standards. Therefore, we can see that the integrated cabling field is not only the most complete and perfect in the standards, but also has the most. Therefore, with these standards as a guide, our cabling market can develop healthily.

    Second, the products and technologies of integrated wiring are constantly updated. They are also developed in the actual application of engineering. In addition to products and technologies, there is also the implementation of engineering.

    Integrated wiring is closely integrated with building intelligence. Because now the construction of intelligence is increasingly developing towards digitalization. Therefore, digital development has opened up a broad application prospect for integrated wiring, and then the integrated wiring market is becoming more and more standardized and rational. This allows our wiring to be in a virtuous cycle. Integrated wiring companies are currently in the process of continuous reorganization and mergers, and the companies themselves have also achieved some development. Therefore, the development of companies has injected a strong vitality into the development of our wiring market.

    Smart city pilot promotes the development of integrated cabling

    On August 6, 2013, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development announced the list of national smart city pilot projects for 2013, and identified 103 cities (districts, counties and towns) as national smart city pilot projects for 2013.

    Among them, the notice requires all localities to do a good job in the construction of national smart cities in their regions, and points out that the more important thing in developing smart cities is to strictly manage the city and not abuse advanced technology. Instead, use it in a balanced way according to actual conditions to make it more in line with the needs of the people, thereby promoting the diversification and flattening of urban management methods, and allowing the future society to transform towards a service-oriented direction and truly achieve smart cities.

    Recent reports have pointed out that in my country, building energy consumption has reached an astonishing 30%, and all of this energy consumption is generated during the operation stage of the building. Experts in this field have pointed out that in the face of astonishing building energy consumption, it is very important to have intelligent buildings that promote the efficient use of building energy efficiency. At the same time, in the operation of intelligent buildings, integrated wiring plays a vital role. As we all know, the construction of smart cities requires the interaction of many systems to achieve the so-called "intelligence", and the information interaction between the systems requires the support of a very powerful basic network. Before the concept of smart cities was proposed, integrated wiring has been developing in the direction of "how to make each system efficiently connected". From the editor's point of view, the concept of "smart city" is based on the development concept of integrated wiring.

    From the market point of view, the promotion of the concept of smart city will drive the development of various fields such as smart buildings, smart homes, and digital life. In this regard, as an independent system, integrated wiring involves multiple fields such as building wiring, information transmission, and information control, and plays a key role in the overall development of smart cities. Integrated wiring can effectively solve the current problems of remote management, the inefficiency of frequent business trips for centralized management, the leakage caused by low security, the problem that documents cannot be queried due to long-term document management, the problem that port identification is easy to fall off, the problem of large-scale waste of resource management ports, high-cost maintenance and misoperation, etc. At the same time, under the upsurge of smart cities in recent years, it is believed that integrated wiring products will show an explosive growth trend.

    Broadband China stimulates demand for residential integrated wiring

    The development goal of the "Broadband China" strategy and implementation plan is to initially build the next generation of national information infrastructure that meets the needs of economic and social development by 2015. Urban and rural household broadband access capabilities have basically reached 20 megabits per second (Mbps) and 4Mbps, and some developed cities have reached 100Mbps. With the implementation of the "Broadband China" policy, users' Internet experience will become better. Zeng Jianqiu, a professor at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications, said: "For ordinary people, the development from 4 lanes to 20 lanes will make broadband networks smoother to use, and problems such as fake broadband will become a thing of the past."

    Small businesses and home users will be the beneficiaries of the "Broadband China" strategy. The Internet will be integrated into daily life, and communication, management and other activities will become more convenient and efficient. On the premise of achieving convenience and efficiency, the integrated wiring system is needed to provide data protection. As the basic network platform, the integrated wiring system plays an important role in this network integration and data transmission.

    Residential buildings and small businesses usually adopt modular structures, which fully demonstrate their excellent convenience and expansion capabilities, provide reliable guarantees for users' information transmission, build smart home and smart office systems, and realize information resource sharing. So far, the construction of integrated wiring in my country's small user market is still in its infancy, which has brought a broad market to the integrated wiring market. Home users are unique, and their personalized and differentiated requirements include a variety of different indoor systems such as optical equipment, power grid, telephone voice network, IPTV, etc., which promotes the requirements of small users for integrated wiring and promotes the continuous development of future integrated wiring technology.

    Category 8 cabling technology is the future direction

    The TR-42 Communications Cabling Systems Engineering Committee of the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA) of the United States recently solicited opinions on the fourth revision of three ANSI/TIA-568 standards. These three standards are: ANSI/TIA-568.0-D "General Communications Cabling for User Premises", TIA-568.1-D "Commercial Building Communications Cabling Standard" and ANSI/TIA-568.3-D "Fiber Optic Cabling Component Standard". These standards apply to network designers, installers, building owners, building tenants and facility operators. In the end, TIA also pointed out that the most important technological innovation at present is the development of performance, testing and Category 8 cabling connections to support the next generation of Ethernet applications on balanced twisted pair cabling; integrating various new technologies such as Category 8 cabling is the main work of the revision process.

    From the article "TIA's Great Debate on Cat8" by Simon Company of the United States, it can be seen that Category 8 cables have begun to attract the attention of manufacturers. Major cabling companies are paying attention to the new technology Category 8 cables. Recently, when Qianjia.com conducted an exclusive interview with Mr. Wang Junyuan, a senior product engineer of Nexans, on the draft of the "Category 8 Cable", Mr. Wang Junyuan pointed out that Nexans has participated in the formulation of relevant standards. At the beginning of last year, Nexans proposed the feasibility of running 40G based on Category 7 links at the IEEE conference. The assumptions used are similar to the 40G transmission assumptions proposed by the current IEEE. Once the IEEE plan is finalized, Nexans can propose a corresponding solution as soon as possible.

    Mr. Wang Junyuan made a brief analysis of the "Category 8 Cable" technology: "From the information currently available, TIA's Category 8 cable draft is close to Category 6A cables. Because shielded cables are used, the external crosstalk performance is significantly improved compared to unshielded systems. In view of the current demand for green data centers, the reduction of energy consumption will also be one of the factors that IEEE will consider."
