FPS Justice data cabling

Fibre-optic connections will be used to transport the digital interactive data into the cell complex. Fibre-optic cables, one of Van den Berg’s specialities, guarantee the fastest and most flawless connection. Information delivered via this fibre is sent quickly with the help of laser light.

In Bruges, 520 cells will be equipped with all the cabinets and connections needed for a data connection between each of the 520 cells in one of the largest prisons in Belgium. A network of cables will be laid throughout the complex within a short period.

In each zone, the light signal will be converted into an electrical signal and UTP cables will be laid, one cable per cell. The cables will be given a unique number and will be connected to patch panels in the data cabinets. Finally, thanks to neat cabling, the cables will be neatly concealed.

Following a successful pilot in Lantin, Bruges, Nivelles and Turnhout, the other prisons will also be equipped with cabling by Van den Berg. The connections will initially be used to control an IP phone.
