CATnet - Physical Infrastructure

The CAT specifies, installs, and manages CATnet, the network infrastructure for the college. Consisting primarily of Cisco Systems gear, the Maseeh College network spans parts of the two Science Buildings, Fourth Avenue Building, CECS Annex and even PCAT (still). The network is built on top of campus telecom's copper and fiber infrastructure, which is shared with Telecom and OIT (PSU's central IT organization).

CATnet uses gigabit ethernet for most building-to-building and closet drops and delivers fast ethernet (10/100) to wall drops. Gigabit over copper is also available in selected areas.
