overview course on how to conduct proper testing of Belden direct connect. Direct Connect and Grid Cabling Using a direct-connect method in combination with grid cabling will bring you the same benefits as an entire direct-attach assembly. In this scenario, horizontal runs are pulled to zone boxes. Within these zone boxes are patch panels. Assemblies are deployed from these boxes/panels to connected devices: WAPs, lights, monitors, cameras, printers, displays, etc. When devices are added or moved, the assembly from the box to the static end device is the only thing that needs to be changed. (Check back in a few weeks to learn more about grid cabling in a new blog post.) To better support direct-connect field assembly, Belden is releasing a new product this month that’s ideal for use with bonded-pair cabling. A core that accepts either a plug or a jack body is installed on the cable, providing an added level of versatility and reliability to support the ever-evolving LAN. The product is optimized for connectorizing horizontal cabling with either a plug or a jack.
