Plenum
- This term refers to any area that serves as a duct or passage for breathable air. Many office
buildings use the space above the suspended ceiling as a return air "plenum" for the heating and air
conditioning systems. Most laws require that any cables, which run in an air plenum, be made of
materials which will not burn, or which will not release toxic gases when burned.
Punch-down Block
- This device is used to connect sensor wires to the collector in an organized
fashion. A special tool is used to "punch" the wire onto the punch-down block terminals, which causes
the terminals to penetrate the wire insulation and cut off excess wire in one easy step. Punch-down
Blocks are the preferred method of connection for solid wire in telephone systems.
RJ
- Acronym for Registered J
ack - The system uses some modular style connectors that are identified
by their 'RJ' designations. RJ-11 is a generic term, which is often used to refer to a six-position jack,
though it specifically refers to a single pair connection in a six-position shell. RJ-12 refers to a two pair
connection in a six pair shell, and RJ-25 refers to a three pair connection in a six pair shell.
Shie lde d Wire
- This type of wire is wrapped in a braided or foil shield that protects it from electrical
interference. Use of shielded wire may be the only solution in a very high noise environment. (See
Wiring Considerations.)
STP
- Acronym for Shielded Twisted Pair - This is wiring usually used in audio system installations
where electrical interference is a prime concern. (See Shielded Wire.)
Twisted Pair
- The wire used to interconnect sensors, collectors, and interfaces is twisted into pairs to
make the wire characteristics more uniform and to cancel out many types of interference to which the
wires might be subjected. (See UTP.)
USOC
- Acronym for Universal S
ervice Ordering Codes - The connectors and wiring adhere to the
USOC wiring practices standard wherever possible.
UTP
- Acronym for Unshielded Twisted Pair - This is the typical solid, paired wire used in phone
system installations. It has no outer shield layer. (See Twisted Pair.)
