Network services are classified into two categories: active and passive services. The former includes the installation and configuration of a complete network; however, the latter is composed of a group of network equipment that completes network infrastructure services. Accordingly, in order for a network to work properly, it needs the right infrastructure and passive network implementation.
Computer network infrastructure-related issues are of the most important problems of an organization, and the reason for the widespread occurrence of these problems is that many business managers believe that a standard and professional network should only take advantage of proper network equipment, including servers, routers, switches, etc. This is why the network infrastructure and passive network services are of little importance to them, leading to bigger problems with huge costs in the network.
What do passive services include?
Network design and planning
Cabling for CCTVs, telephone, etc.,
Execution and implementation of the plan
Rack arrangement
Network optimization
Ducting
Installation of outlets and nodes
Installation of server room and rack
Setting up a CCTV camera
Installation of sensors and smart equipment
What are passive services?
Passive network services point to those types of equipment on which no activity is performed, and their function is only to provide an infrastructure for data transmission, and they do not need electricity for their operation.
The speed and stability of the network and data centers are guaranteed by the fundamental and professional implementation of a network. In doing so, in the field of passive services, which is a complementary infrastructure service, the standards of a data center and server room should be followed, which include: fundamental cabling that avoids interference with nearby magnetic fields, use of original cables in the network, calculation of the power consumption of the servers and the exact determination of the UPS model based on the needs and requests of the employer, etc. These principles should be analyzed and implemented properly by skillful and professional experts.
Passive network services can be used only by creating a network. The data transmission medium in the network can be either a copper cable or an optical fiber cable, which in both cases is a part of passive network services.
What are the execution and implementation steps of passive services?
The main steps of setting up passive services include the following items:
The first step of setting up a computer network is choosing the appropriate hardware for the network, which is selected based on the desired needs.
After setting up the computer network, the appropriate hardware components are mounted, installed and set up.
The third and last step is to choose the type of communication protocols to launch passive services.
The steps to implement passive network services are as follows:
Visiting the project site: initially, passive service experts visit the project implementation site and find and collect basic and general information to design the preparations for the execution and implementation of the network and check the needs and demands of the customer.
Designing the network infrastructure: The design of the network infrastructure is done at this stage because it is necessary to check all the network setup conditions and the physical conditions of the environment to finally design a basic plan in line with the latest standards of computer networks.
Network cabling: Cabling is the most important and infrastructural stage of setting up a network, which should be done by skilled experts of passive network services. Network cabling is done both internally and externally, which in this stage the best quality cables are tried to be used. The cost of network cabling also depends on various factors.
Installing other passive network equipment: After the network cabling is done, other passive network equipment is implemented and installed.
Testing the network: After completing the previously mentioned steps, it is necessary to check the network signal as well as all the nodes to test their health to ensure that is no disconnection exists in the cable.
What is passive network equipment?
The passive network equipment must enter the signals from the active equipment in the network and then transmit them, and it does not have the ability to generate electronic signals. Now, among the passive network services, when you want to start doing such services, you must get to know its equipment so that you will be able to implement the network easily in the desired environment.
Network cable and socket
When you want to use passive services, you need a cable and socket to set it up, and the role of these cables and sockets is to connect the system to your network.
Rack
The rack is in charge of organizing devices to use passive network services, and the rack also has a protective role and takes care of your equipment.
Patch panel
By using passive network equipment and services, patch panels create coordination between cables, which makes your network optimally managed.
Wall socket
Wall sockets establish a connection so that the system can be connected to the main network using a cable. This is for when you want users to easily connect to the network and use passive network services.
