Description: The campus rewire project is one part of a comprehensive Network Master Plan for the Indiana University Bloomington communication infrastructure. The inside wire plant is predominately 20-year-old category 3 that is obsolete and fully deprecated. Category 3 wiring can only support half duplex 10 Mbps data networking. At IUB, approximately 72 percent of the 40,500 working outlets are 10 Mbps capable, 22 percent are 100 Mbps capable (category 5), and 6 percent are gigabit capable (category 5E and category 6). This project aims to replace all wiring of active jacks with new category 6E wire, and terminate all outlets on patch panels; install 50-micron laser-optimized fiber in the risers to support 10 Gbps; add card key access to wiring closets for security and audit purposes; and renovate old closets, or add new closets, to bring all closets up to IU standards.

Outcome: This upgrade is essential to support current and future networking needs for both voice and data connections. Installing current state-of-the-art copper wire and fiber-optic cable will remove the roadblock that many users are facing on outmoded jacks and wiring, which currently limits the speed of their connections.
