Requirements for Computer Laboratory (Raceways, Face Plates, Outlets etc.)

Hi friends !

I am going to make a computer laboratory with 30 computers in my workplace. I will use only two switches in the laboratory. I want to know how should I design for it ? I know that the equipments i.e. Surface Raceways, Furniture Raceways, Face Plates, Electircal Outlets and others will be needed.

I have gone through the website www.panduit.com and there I have found many products. Now I want to know...

1. What the tools I will need if I prepare the lab my self and don't give contract to other companies ?
2. Is there any website from where I can get help for Planning, Designing and Preparing Computer Laboratory ? and What will be the requirements ?
3. I also want to know one thing more. I have seen that in the server room of my workplace, where we have routers and switches, there are patch panel and the UTP Cables with RJ-45 Jack, that are plugged in those panels, are well-made and seem that no one can make them without any machine or advance tool. They are not like the one I can make myself with Climping tool.
How can I prepare the cable ? Is there any equipment for it ? I will need that type of quality work.

Please provide me any website link from where I can know how to prepare and design the lab and what requirements should be considered about ?

Thanks,

Hemant

Thanks for your comment. You are right. I am not well familiar with these things. That's why, I want to know more about these things.

You see, right now, I have one lab to prepare and  in 2-3 months we will have four big computer labs there. For that, we are planning to look for a cable contracter and obviously, at that time I will work with them and will learn many things. But I want to get enough knowledge in this area before I join them.

As I had asked for any website link, from where I can get some information about how to plan, design and implement computer labs, have you any idea about it ?

Thanks again,

Hemant
