Project     Paddington Green is COWC’s new campus facility opened in January
Description 2011. The College’s aim was to use cutting-edge architecture design which
            takes full advantage of the key location in the borough. City of
            Westminster College offers around 250 full-time and part-time courses to
            over 7,000 students each year in the centre of London.
            The project presented a very challenging cabling installation due to the fact
            that all services, including cabling, had to to be installed under the floor.
            Able Data installed more than 7,000 Cat6a outlets over the seven floors of
            the new building. The installation also required the installation of a 24-core
            OM3 diverse backbone linking 14 computer and patch rooms. The
            installation included 60 x Copper B-Line equipment cabinets. Hawki
            control units were used to provide centralised remote monitoring of both
            the power and environmental conditions within the cabinets.

              44th, 45th & 46th floors through Corning pre-terminated OM3 fibre.
              Over the past six years Able Data has installed over 30,000 outlets for
              Bear Stearns on other floors in the Tower.

Project       RPC, a leading UK law firm, consolidated their London operations
Description   into the prestigious Tower Bridge House.
              As part of the fit out of the new building, Able Data supplied and
              installed 6,000 Cat6 outlets over four floors. These were installed in a
              flood-filled under floor grid of 4-way outlet boxes, so that outlets can
              be pulled through the floor and mounted on desk positions as required.
              Able Data also installed an OM3 fibre backbone, using redundant
              routes and supporting backup focal points to the building of a fault
              tolerant network.
              Able Data also installed an iTRACS cable management system,
              providing facilities for RPC to manage their cabling infrastructure and
              to support moves and changes. This included the iDiscovery module,
              which allows RPC to dynamically discover and monitor ip network
              devices on the network & to map these onto the cabling infrastructure.

Project       AllianceBerstein is on of the largest publicly traded global asset
Description   management firms in the world.
              When AllianceBernstein were refurbishing their offices in Berkeley
              Street, Able Data were contracted to build a new structured cabling
              system. Spread over four floors, Able Data installed 5,000 new outlets
              and over 4,000 computer room links. A tight programme required
              completion in less than size weeks, achieved by using pre-termination
              to pre-build cable assemblies off site and night working on site.
              Each floor was flood wired back to two patch rooms per floor. All of
              the patch rooms were connected to the main and backup computer
              rooms through diversely routed Cat6 copper and OM3 fibre.
              Able Data were subsequently awarded the contract to review the
              cabling at Devonshire House, another AllianceBernstein site in
              London.

Project          EBay required a new cabling system for its new J9 HQ building in
Description      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.
