How many workstations in a room? |
|
|
Hi,
I am looking for a norm specifying the space between computers in a single
room. A room (let's say 16 square meters) is supposed to have the maximum
number of workstations.
Is there any RFC about this issue?
Thank you. |

A lot would be determined by how many users will be in there. You'd be
better off looking into ergonomics, rather than cabling. |

TIA-569B recommends to use 10 sq. meters (100 sq. ft) per work area for
planning purposes. However, in real life the actual size greatly depends
on the type of business the customer is in (call centers being notoriously
dense in terms of outlets), type of modular furniture they are using and
even occupational safety regulations that are in effect in your area.
It your case I would install three duplex (as minimum) outlets, arguing
that it will most likely become a two-work area room, but one of the
locations may be blocked by the furniture, or additional connections may
be required, so three would be more flexible.
Good luck!

In the US, I'd get a copy of the SteelCase catalog (a manufacturer of
office furniture and office cubicle systems). I'm sure they make
computer call center desks that get as many people in a room as
humanly (if not humanely) possible.
Look at the desks in a library reading room. That's about the highest
density I can think of. Add power and data wriing accordingly. (Flat
screens are obviously called for if you're packing people in. They
also eliminate EMF issues.)
If you _do_ put that much equipment and people in a closed room you'll
have to add up the BTU numbers and have a chat with your air
conditioning guy.
I don't want to work in the kind of office this discussion is
suggesting.

Lukasz,
have a look into EN 50173 and EN 50174 CENELEC norms on Generic Cabling.
