|  | 8.8 | Design Practice No. 1: Wiring Plan for Ethernet Star Topology LAN
| 8.8.2 | Main building: first floor

The dimensions of the main building are roughly 40 m. x 37 m. A preliminary, survey of the building has already been conducted, and six potential wiring closet locations have been identified for the first floor. On the floor plan these are indicated by the letters A, B, C, D, E, and F.

Although the POP was considered as a possible location, it was determined, during the preliminary survey of the building, that the POP is too small to house all of the equipment needed in an MDF.

1. Location A uses florescent lighting. The door opens into the room and has no lock. The light switch is located inside the door and to the right upon entering. The room has a dropped ceiling.

Like C, this room is also located in close proximity to the POP. There are four electrical outlets in the room.
5. Location E uses incandescent lighting. The door opens out of the room and can be secured with a lock. The light switch is located inside the door and to the right upon entering the room. Like rooms C and D, this room does not have a dropped ceiling. The walls are of cinder block construction and are painted with a fire-retardant paint. There are three electrical outlets in the room.
6. Location F uses incandescent lighting. The door opens out of the room and can be secured with a lock. The light switch is located inside the door and to the right upon entering the room.
