Contractor HBG Construction
Project HBG have built three new secondary schools in West Sussex, Oriel,
Description Ifield and Thomas Bennett. As part of this project, they contracted
Able Data to design and install a data cabling and TV distribution
system.
The data cabling systems are based on the Brand Rex Millenium
Cat5e system. In each school, Able Data installed 2,000 RJ45 outlets
in class rooms, staff rooms and other locations. These outlets were run
back to a number of local patch cabinets, which were in turn
connected back to the main computer room via OM3 fibre.
The TV distribution system includes 300 class room TV outlets per
school. Within each school, these are fed from a single central head
end, which is in turn fed from a single set of TV and radio aerials. The
head end equipment includes a high quality Fracarro K-series
processing system, which as well as providing high quality TV
terrestrial analogue and digital channels, presents FM and DAB radio
to all outlets. The school can also broadcast channels from their own
video sources, such as DVD players, tapes or cameras.

Installed Jul – Oct 2009
Project Fidelity International is a world-wide leading investment provider. As
Description part of their UK data centre consolidation strategy, Fidelity required a
new Data Centre facility at its HQ facility at Tonbridge.
Spread over two underground data halls and two office floors, the
project required the installation of 30,000 Cat6 copper links and 11,000
OM3 duplex fibre links to 300 Rittal cabinets and used more than
700km of cable. All links connect to a patch field of 80 x CPI patch
frames, each monitored with the iPatch Intelligent patch system.
The Data Centre was cabled overhead on three levels of CPI ladder
racking. One of the biggest challenges faced by Able Data was to
deliver the required high quality of cabling. To work out the optimum
cable routing schemes, Able Data built an offsite mock up of a row of
patch frames and the associated cables. To speed up installation whilst
minimising unsightly cable slack, Able Data single end pre-terminated
all copper and fibre links. The entire installation was completed over a
14 week period.
As well as building and configuring a 40,000 port iPatch system to
manage patching and monitor network devices, Able Data implemented
additional bespoke functionality tailored to Fidelity’s requirements,
including auto server provisioning.

Project Debenhams has an ongoing program of opening new stores. In each
Description they install a structured cabling system to serve the shop floor tills and
pay points as well as the general offices. It is Debenhams policy to use
SYSTIMAX PowerSUM cabling throughout.
By the nature of shop premises, most of the cabling work is in the
ceiling void, requiring the extensive use of platforms.
Each store floor will normally have its own cabling cabinet. These
cabinets are joined to the master cabinet via either fibre or copper
interlinks, depending on the distances involved.
Part of this project involved the fast track conversion of three Alders
stores to Debenhams in March 2005. This involved the use of three
separate cabling teams working on the different sites.

Church House, a grade II listed building, is the headquarters of the
Archbishops' Council and all its Boards and Councils as well as of the

England.
Church House also contains a Conference Centre that provides
accommodation and facilities for a vast variety of events from AGMs,
conferences, dinners and receptions to exhibitions.
Able Data were contracted to install 1500 outlets over 6 floors and the
conference centre. The key challenge of delivering this project was the
complexity of the cable routes. The building is listed and most of the
original features of the conference centre, meeting & conference rooms on
the Ground and Lower Ground floors could not be changed or put in any
risk of being damaged.

Project The Ashmolean Museum, dating from the 17th century, is the oldest public
museum in the UK. Award-winning architect Rick Mather created a new
building that has doubled the Ashmolean’s gallery space and state-of-the-art
facilities. In November 2009, the £61M redevelopment opened to the public.
Able Data installed a structured cabling system, consisting of nearly a thousand
outlets, spread over 6 floors of the new building extension.
Each of the 13 remote patch cabinet locations had a fibre & copper backbone
linking to the Basement computer room. As well as the provision of the
computer cabinets at each location Able Data supplied & installed an APC UPS
& 3Comm Switch. The biggest challenge was the complexity and range of
cable routes. Whilst some outlets are located in low floor boxes, others for high
gallery points (overhead projectors etc) are at more than eight metres high.
Another challenge was fitting cabling around a complex building program;
many outlets could not be terminated or tested until after the exhibition cabinets
had been installed.
