On an unlabelled network, every fault starts with the same question: which cable is this? In 2019, the Social Services of the Public Administration (SSAP) chose DataRoad - IT Services and Consulting to certify the structured cabling of its network: around 456 network outlets spread across three racks. In addition to certification, the team labelled every outlet in every room and reorganised the racks, leaving a documented network infrastructure that is easy to manage.

Work carried out

  1. Certification: of the 456 cabling outlets.
  2. Labelling: of all the cabling and every outlet, across the different rooms.
  3. Cable managers: installed in the racks.
  4. Reorganisation: cabling tidied and racks labelled.

Why certify and organise an existing network

A network that has grown over the years accumulates unlabelled outlets and racks that are hard to read. Certification proves the performance of each outlet; labelling and tidying reduce the time needed for every future intervention and the risk of unplugging the wrong cable. It was the first step in a long relationship: SSAP chose DataRoad again for several network and Wi-Fi projects in the years that followed.
