GEC NEWS WIRESiemon has published a new paper entitled ‘Zone Cabling and Coverage Area Planning Guide: 60W PoE Lighting Applications’ to provide guidance to infrastructure designers on the selection, design, and deployment of a structured cabling system optimised to support a wide range of Power over Ethernet lighting applications. The new guide highlights installation recommendations, integration with IoT applications, zone cabling for PoE lighting including coverage areas and location of zone enclosures, and more.
“Zone cabling is a standards-based design approach that is highly suited to support arrangements of these PoE lighting devices logically distributed throughout a ceiling space. There are a large number of variables that must be considered prior to identifying the lighting solution that is best suited for a particular building environment, and it is crucial for infrastructure designers to have a complete understanding of these considerations before endeavoring to design and install the low voltage cabling system for PoE lighting deployments. It is for this reason that Siemon also recommends using a qualified Digital Lighting Partner for low voltage lighting installations” says Valerie Maguire, global sales engineer, Siemon. With the increasing popularity of PoE lighting and IoT-enabled systems, the landscape of structured cabling design is rapidly advancing.
