Network Backbone

The core of the campus network is a centrally-managed collapsed backbone comprised of meshed enterprise-class Gigabit Ethernet routers, supporting IP, IP Multicast, IPX, and Appletalk protocols.

Fiber Plant

All buildings on campus are connected to one of three communication hubs using optical fiber. The fiber plant is managed by UAB Telecommunications Services.

The fiber backbone consists of both single mode and multi-mode fiber.  These fibers are used for:

• Network Communications
