ICT Facilities for Building Telecommunication Distribution

ICT Facilities and Distribution Systems

ICT Definition

ICT: Facilities for the distribution of telecommunication signals to a group of users who share a common building or facility. Types include:

• Television and satellite reception
• Basic telephony and ISDN-PSTN
• Telecommunications broadband
• Cable services operated by one or more operators

General Scheme: Feeder Network

General scheme of an ICT facility, "Feeder Network": This consists of the entry of external signals of different types into the telecommunications facility.

Point of Interconnection

"Point of Interconnection": The enclosure in which all the connections in the ICT are consolidated; it is the link between the incoming supply and the internal distribution.

Distribution Network

"Distribution network": The overall network from which all signals are distributed within the ICT.

Distribution Points

Distribution Points: These are the access records of the main distribution network from which telecommunication signals are distributed.

Networks of Dispersion

"Networks of dispersion": The different derivations that are made from the overall distribution network. They start from a distribution point and branch outward.

User Networks (User-nets)

User-nets: These are the facilities of each user. They start at a user access point (PAU) and are shared throughout the user's dwelling with outlet points.

Types of Conduits for ICT

Types of pipes for ICT:

Home Channeling

Home-Channeling: Joining the premises' telecommunications facilities with the lower and upper secondary access registers.

High Channeling

High-Channeling: The conduit serving the network of dispersion and secondary registers connected to the network termination.

Internal User Channeling

Internal user-Channeling: The wiring performed inside the user's dwelling. It starts from the network termination point and is distributed to all user outlets (BAT).

Distribution System for Terrestrial TV and Radio

Distribution fitting for receiving terrestrial TV signals and radio:

A distribution facility designed to provide radio and television signals to a community of neighbors or a block of flats consists of three main parts:

• Antenna array
• Central amplification
• Distribution devices

In this case, the antenna equipment is connected to the power amplifier located in the upper telecommunications facilities (RITI). From here the distribution line carries the signal to all households via so-called shunts through the dispersion networks on each floor.

The wiring for the installation of TV and radio distribution is made with coaxial cable.

Installation of Telephone Distribution

Installation of telephone distribution:

The operator lines enter from outside to the lower telecommunications perimeter (RITI) at the register used as the point of interconnection. The input pairs are connected on a main terminal strip. From this main terminal strip, connections are made to a secondary terminal block and then start toward each home through the main distribution network.

The main network is composed of multi-pair cable harnesses with sufficient pairs to provide services to all users in the building. Allocation to each home is made from the distribution records via insertion terminal strips.
