The ECS
and DAQ rely on Ethernet. The racks counting houses D1, D2 and D3 are connected
with Ethernet cables ending in patch-panels. All connections in these barracks
are from patch-panels to patch-panels on certified Category 6 copper, unshielded
twisted pair cables. (Cat
6 UTP) 1000 BaseT. Some numbers to illustrate the size of the installation: An example photo
of the labelling is here. The following table lists all connections from the subsystem racks in D3 to
the central racks in D2. The board entry is the number of TELL1, UKL1 or Readout
Supervisors, i.e. the boards which send data to the DAQ. The Creditcard PCs need
switches installed in the racks. These are are accounted for in the ECS racks.

The official reference for the cabling is

cabling in UXA85 D1, D2, D3"
(pdf)Labeling Scheme
Each patch-panel carries a label, which identifies the patch-panel. Example D2C03B: A patch-panel in Rack C03 in the D2 barrack
. The last letter "B" indicates that it is the second patch-panel in this rack.
Each connected port on the patch-panels carries a label, which
identifies the destination of that port. Example D2D04C12: This port
is connected to port number 12, on the third patch-panel "C", in the 4th
rack in the "D" rack-row in the D2 barrack.Pictures
