Cabrini College - Information Technology &

Network Infrastructure
The vast majority of the network wiring on campus is
Category 5E implemented in a hybrid configuration. Each office, classroom,
laboratory, residence hall and public space has at least one network jack
per person. These jacks are connected to Ethernet switches to provide
each person with a 10 and 100 Mbps connections to the network.
Each building on campus is interconnected via a mixed
100 Mbps and 1 Gbps (1000 Mbps) fiber-optic backbone. We are constantly
reevaluating the existing fiber backbone and making adjustments as necessary
to provide the campus community with a faster, more reliable and robust
network.
We access the internet via a 10 Mbps ethernet line
from Yipes. This direct ethernet service also gives us the ability to
host many of our critical network and server systems on Drexel University's
campus, bringing reliablity and server up-time to much higher levels than
ever before.
