The Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) has national responsibilities ranging from resource economics to quarantine and inspection services. Like any major government department, its efficient operation is vital to the national interest, and disruption of services by technology issues is unacceptable.

So, for its new 36,000m2 headquarters in Canberra, DAFF specified a high performance network infrastructure emphasizing efficient management of the physical layer. To ensure it can meet any likely bandwidth demands in the present and future, DAFF chose 10 Gb/s cabling to connect the 7,800 outlets throughout the 16 floors of the headquarters' two buildings.

In addition, there are also 2,000 10 Gb/s connections in the site's data center, which also serves as the national data center for DAFF. Like those in the office areas, connections to data center outlets are managed by the innovative SYSTIMAX® VisiPatch® 360 integrated cable management solution.

This uses a "360-degree" approach to design that looks at performance and customer requirements from every angle. With the VisiPatch 360 Solution, this design philosophy has created a crossconnect solution optimized for simple, fast, error-free management of the physical layer. This minimizes disruption during moves, adds and changes, and makes troubleshooting easier.
