The potential of a health home automation network managed by industrial equipment

Good wired network distribution and excellent Wi-Fi coverage are essential elements in a smart health connected health home. What material can we rely on to achieve this? Does industrial equipment offer better performance in this area? The purpose of this article is to focus on the efficiency of the health home automation network in relation to the type of equipment used.

The keystone centralization of a good quality wired network

It is clear that the optimal functioning of your smart health connected equipment depends on good Wi-Fi coverage. However, the state of the wired network should not, however, be neglected. Setting up a patch bay is essential for the proper functioning of a wired network.

The patch bay ensures the centralization of the various connections present in the house. It is materialized by a patch panel. It is this panel which acts as an interface with the other computer equipment which manages the system. A patch cord provides the connection between the panel and the switch.

The servers, the internet box, the Raspberry Pi and other computer equipment are generally housed in the patch bay. It is therefore necessary to choose a spacious room to house your patch bay. The room should be spacious, but without being over the top.

At the time of delivery, the patch bay is completely empty. It is then fitted out according to the essential accessories in setting up your health home automation system. This equipment is as follows: the outlet strip, the tablet, the inverter, the switch, the cable glands, the outlets, the motion detectors, the surveillance cameras, the industrial automatons, etc.

The choice of wiring material

For wiring, Category 6a cables are a preferred option. They offer a particularly high level of debit as they ensure perfect collection of future debits. The intention is not to lug primed cables around the house. On the contrary, the deployment of the cable for a better arrangement of the sockets in the right places is the priority.

To do this, the use of a coil of cable allows it to be divided into several pieces as needed. Regarding best practices, it is advisable to deploy your cables while avoiding, as much as possible, using the cable trays already used by the cables of the electrical installation.

Of course, it is not easy to achieve this, but doing so will make your health home automation network cleaner. It should in fact be specified that the signal emitted by the electric current is likely to create disturbances in your health home automation network.

These interferences occur in the event of proximity between the electric cables and those of the computer network and the Internet. The golden rule is not to mix strong and weak currents.

The choice of connection material

The cable is the materialization of the physical link that exists between the patch bay and the wall outlet. It is therefore imperative to acquire sockets in large numbers. These can be placed in different places in the house and in the patch bay.

The choice of RJ 45 sockets is indicated for the health home because of their design similar to that of your switches. They are commercially available in a plurality of ranges. Set your sights on the one that best meets your aspirations.

Regarding the patch bay, the installation of the cores and a patch band makes it possible to consolidate the link between your bay and other health home automation equipment. The connection of sockets and cores is done extremely quickly by relying on the Color Code.

No specific knowledge in this area is required. This is also one of the many advantages offered by this equipment. The realization of the network lines cannot be envisaged without the essential tool which is the tester. Its role consists in verifying the quality of the wiring carried out.

The choice of active material

The establishment of a health home automation network supposes the acquisition of active equipment. One of these devices is the switch. This device plays a key role in the installation in addition to being a network power strip. The optimization of the flow and the regulation of the whole are also managed by the switch.

Various varieties of switches exist on the market. These differ from each other in their simplicity or advanced level in functionality. Providing a health home automation system with a switch and properly dimensioning it allows a smart health connected health home to reach an optimal level of operation. Avoid choosing a switch with a reduced number of ports, because in the very short term, it will not be of much use to you because of its limitations.

Opt for the purchase of a switch not only big, but complete. A Cisco 2960 for example will not be able to do the trick. This type of equipment is used regularly in business. For better adaptation to your needs, choose the D-Link DGS 1210 range. In addition to being complete, these switches include Giga ports equipped with PoE and offer better management of flows from a dedicated interface.

Network cords are other utilities whose importance is not debated. By way of illustration, the Patches can for example be used as a patch cord. These cables provide impeccable comfort and quality despite their high cost. For economic reasons, the alternative is to buy cords of category 6a or 7. They offer a higher quality rendering.
