ABC, one of the largest malls in Lebanon, has deployed a cabling network from R&M to run its critical services including PoS systems, CCTV, digital signage and BMS.
The Mall, which is spread across around 1.5 million square feet, now runs on the high-speed cable network enabling everything from in-store payments to mall security and even systems that optimise its 1,700 car parking spaces.
R&M says the installation time was greatly reduced by use of the high-performance field-installable connectors, which made it possible to connect the FO Field connectors to fibre cables at the site itself in under a minute.
For the connectivity of its retail stores, the Mall has utilised the latest Cat7 S/FTP cables with Cat6A outlets, while the CCTV connectivity is built on high-grade Cat6 cabling. This copper cabling network connects to a high-speed FO backbone that utilises OM3 fibre cabling. “R&M’s strengths in copper and fibre presented ABC Verdun with the opportunity to fulfil all its cabling requirements – thus simplifying the implementation. Parts of the network is built on R&M’s cabling systems, providing a 25-year system warranty which safeguards the Group’s investment and ensures its successful operation for years to come,” said Mohammad Sweidan, Regional sales director, Levant, Kuwait & North Africa at R&M.
