  2. Structured cabling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structured_cabling

    Backbone cabling is the inter-building and intra-building cable connections in structured cabling between entrance facilities, equipment rooms and telecommunications closets. Backbone cabling consists of the transmission media, main and intermediate cross-connects and terminations at these locations. This system is mostly used in data centers.

  3. Backbone network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backbone_network

    A backbone or core network is a part of a computer network which interconnects networks, providing a path for the exchange of information between different LANs or subnetworks. [1] A backbone can tie together diverse networks in the same building, in different buildings in a campus environment, or over wide areas.

  4. Backhaul (telecommunications) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backhaul_(telecommunications)

    In a hierarchical telecommunications network, the backhaul [1] portion of the network comprises the intermediate links between the core network, or backbone network, and the small subnetworks at the edge of the network (like for example private networks, LANs, etc. [citation needed]).

  5. Spinal column - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_column

    The number of vertebrae in a region can vary but overall the number remains the same. In a human spinal column, there are normally 33 vertebrae. [3] The upper 24 pre-sacral vertebrae are articulating and separated from each other by intervertebral discs, and the lower nine are fused in adults, five in the sacrum and four in the coccyx, or tailbone.

  6. ANSI/TIA-568 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI/TIA-568

    ANSI/TIA-568 is a technical standard for commercial building cabling for telecommunications products and services. The title of the standard is Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling Standard and is published by the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), a body accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

  7. Main distribution frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_distribution_frame

    The MDF is a termination point within the local telephone exchange where exchange equipment and terminations of local loops are connected by jumper wires at the MDF. All cable copper pairs supplying services through user telephone lines are terminated at the MDF and distributed through the MDF to equipment within the local exchange e.g. repeaters and DSLAM.

  8. Vertebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertebra

    The discs between these vertebrae create a natural lumbar lordosis (a spinal curvature that is concave posteriorly). [citation needed] This is due to the difference in thickness between the front and back parts of the intervertebral discs. The lumbar vertebrae are located between the ribcage and the pelvis and are the largest of the vertebrae.

  9. Vertical and horizontal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_and_horizontal

    The word horizontal is derived from the Latin horizon, which derives from the Greek ὁρῐ́ζων, meaning 'separating' or 'marking a boundary'. [2] The word vertical is derived from the late Latin verticalis, which is from the same root as vertex, meaning 'highest point' or more literally the 'turning point' such as in a whirlpool.
