In-building fiber and structured cabling design, most fully worked at the Duval County Courthouse: diverse A and B fiber paths to each of forty-two distribution closets across seven floors, with the building core dual-homed over separate routes to two independent city core sites.
Resilience built into the building rather than around it. A single path per closet is cheaper on the day and indefensible for the following twenty years.
Subtopics
- Distributed Antenna SystemsNeutral-host in-building DAS carrying four commercial carriers, public safety radio and Wi-Fi on one shared plant — across two full platform generations.
Applied in
- Main Data Center Physical Connection LayoutThe as-built record of every port, patch and strand in the main data center — a naming convention where the identifier is the location, carried to revision 21 over fifteen years.
- Ed Ball Hearing Room — Backup Council ChambersA committee room specified to run a City Council meeting if the Chamber were unavailable — which makes it a continuity facility for the legislative body, not a meeting room.
- Downtown Campus Distributed Antenna SystemA neutral-host DAS carrying four commercial carriers, public safety radio and Wi-Fi — owned across two full platform generations.
- Ed Austin State Attorney's OfficeNetwork infrastructure, VoIP telephony and building automation for the State Attorney's building.
- Municipal Fiber PlantCitywide outside plant built as interlocking rings, designed down to conduit, manhole, slack and splice.
- Duval County Courthouse Technology ProgramA $12M IT program inside a $350M, 800,000 square foot capital facility, cut over live to a fixed date.
