Physical network design and cable installation is provided by TTUnet Network Services to Texas Tech University departments. All installed networks are also operated and maintained by TTUnet Network Services, thereby freeing departmental personnel to focus on user needs and computing systems.

TTUnet Network Services installs state-of-the-art unshielded, twisted pair and fiber-optic cable plants after working with each requesting department to identify the needs and intended use. All cable plant designs are in accordance with EIA/TIA 568 industry standards and Texas Tech University Operational Policies. The network installations are carried out by a team of full-time professionals.

Typical data network installations involve the use of 10/100Base-TX Ethernet to meet the current needs of the department, but all designs and installations are certified to run at much higher speeds (e.g. 1000Mbps) in order to provide for future advances in networking technology.

Both single-mode and multi-mode fiber optic cable plants can be designed and installed where extremely high bandwidth applications are required. Turnkey cable projects for video and other special applications can be accommodated.

For additional connections to the network, go to the TTUnet home page, www.net.ttu.edu, and select FastTrack Data Outlet Order.
