| Hi people.
I am studying for the CID exam with the official course book from Cisco Press. In chapter 5, "Campus LAN Design Models",talking about Collapsed and Distributed backbones, the author uses a word that sounds like greek to me: the word is "riser".
Can anyone tell me what does that word stands for?
Thanks in advice. | |

| So... does the term "raiser" means the cabling that connects each floor of a building with a central location?
Thanks. | |

| The riser is normally towards the centre of a multi story building. Often besides the building lifts, electrical, plumbing etc. It is basically a closset that rises up through the building from floor to floor. It allows all of the telephone and data cabling to drop down in a direct route to the MDF (usually in the basement).
Hope this helps.
