Physically designing a cabling system is a complex and largely manual process prone to errors. It is time consuming to create the drawings of the rack configurations for Campus, Building and Floor distributors and to create a complete Bill of Materials - an experienced designer needs several hours to calculate the lengths of all copper and OF cables, list the quantities of cabling components and search for the correct product references. Moreover design errors, incorrect calculation of cable lengths and missing accessories or optional items are common problems which may give rise to errors during the design or tender phase of a project.
NED is a simple intuitive software tool enabling users to quickly collect the cabling project data, and provide:
- Automated Building configuration lay-outs
- Automated Distributor rack configurations
- Complete Bill of Materials
