Integrated management system for communication cable

The present invention provides unique information to a plurality of communication wires distributed to each unit terminal box, and by configuring the communication wires by layer based on the information, and by configuring the items of the upper level and the lower level for each layer, The present invention relates to an integrated management system for communication wires that enables an administrator to easily check communication wires and to manage them integrally.

In general, buildings such as government offices, schools, offices, and apartments are equipped with a large number of cables that combine several strands of communication lines into one. These cables transmit information by connecting data communication, video such as telephone, cable TV or CCTV, speaker broadcasting, etc. to PCs, telephones, display devices, and speakers provided in each classroom or office or each room. Connect to communicate.

Both ends of the cable are coupled with a connector having a plurality of contacts connected to each communication line, respectively, by connecting these connectors to the equipment to interconnect each equipment.

Cables are indispensably used in workplaces such as new government offices, schools, new apartments, multi-family homes, buildings, etc., as well as in workplaces that remodel existing buildings. It is very important to check the condition of such cables as open, short and cable number.

In particular, in the case of data communication, hubs and patch panels are used to draw communication lines from the outside into the building and wire them to separate room rooms. It is common to distinguish the wiring state of each cable by attaching the corresponding room to the hub and the patch panel by recording the corresponding room and the like on each connector.

However, after a few times of intermediate work for expansion and maintenance after expansion, the arrangement of the cables connected to each connector is changed and a new cable is added. Most of these correspondences are disrupted. Moreover, this situation often occurs because the cable operator at the time of extension and the cable operator at the time of maintenance are not the same.

In this case, manually searching for a cable corresponding to a room to perform maintenance wastes a lot of time, and if a cable is not found, a cable is often installed again.

In order to solve this inconvenience, a cable tester is disclosed. The cable tester is to check whether there is an abnormality in a cable, and a group of two workers use the same operation a number of times by connecting both ends of a cable through equipment and a radio. However, such a cable tester has a problem that it takes a lot of work time to check and check the number of the number of cables in order, and often forget the cable number during the operation, which reduces the reliability and efficiency of the work.

Therefore, there is a need to develop a technology for an integrated wiring system that can manage the configuration, arrangement, and the like regarding wiring of data communication, telephone, cable TV, CCTV, video, speaker broadcasting, and the like.
