Network Closet
Network Closet: This is exactly what it sounds like; a closet that you can go to access the router and hubs.by Terry Franklin
Network Closet
A network closet is the place where network
hardware (other than cabling) is installed. The space should be used primarily
for storage, be dry, and have electricity available. Since network equipment
rarely needs attention once installed and tested, the network closet can
have limited accessibility.
Relevance: All of my schools sixteen
classrooms are connected to a network system. This system is kept
in the teacher’s workroom without correct protective covering. We
were able to observe several network closets in the Education Building
at the U of I campus on May 20th.
