What Is A Riser And Telecommunications

Stharee Bolshevik to bourgeois national planner

In 1961, Lloyd Fernando, just past his teens and then attached to the Standard Chartered Bank or SCB in Colombo, holding a Diploma in Banking  from the prestigious Chartered Institute of Bankers or CIB, London, was forced to make a hard choice, a choice which economists would call ‘a choice under uncertainty’. Strictly speaking, it was not a choice under uncertainty proper, but a choice between certainty and uncertainty which only an extreme risk taker would even think of considering. His choice was whether to give up a lucrative and promising banking career with prospects for serving overseas stations, an ambition which would stir the imagination of many a young man, to pursue academic studies in economics in a totally strange and unknown place, at that time, called the People’s Friendship University in Moscow, popularly known as the Lumumba University.

SCB was a reputed international bank with a track record of more than 100 years and Lloyd was one of the few Diploma holders in its Colombo Branch. Young, enterprising and free thinking, he would have cut himself a good banker in the years to come. In the opposite, economics was a new field of study and Lumumba was unknown to Ceylonese who had known only the universities in the British Empire or the United States. To make matters worse, that university had Russian as the medium of instructions and that too was a totally strange language to Ceylonese who had been mainly exposed to English because of the long colonial heritage. So, when he was offered a scholarship to study at Lumumba by the Soviet Government, it was obvious that he was to walk from light to darkness or from an assured life to complete void and wilderness.

    Yet he chose uncertainty. Was he stupid in making that choice? I ask him.

Unapologetic Leftist

We were in his third floor office in the Postgraduate Institute of Management or PIM overlooking the panoramic view of Borella and beyond. His students were walking into his office freely to meet his office colleagues who were also present there, but he was undisturbed and attentive to me. Well articulated but soft spoken, Lloyd assumed a mild smile across his face when he took his memory back to those crucial days in 1960.

    “I was actively engaged in the left – oriented trade union work in the bank” he reminisces with no apology in his tone.

There’s quite a bit of hoopla regarding structured data cabling these days, however not much data on exactly what makes up a structured data cabling system. This type of system is normally found in commercial buildings or campuses (groups of commercial buildings) and contains a number of smaller, standardized components, or subsystems. The cabling from the outside earth enters through a main telecommunications room called, among other things, a demarcation mark, which connects to other telecommunications rooms throughout the building. Each of these rooms is connected to the main room with riser cable. Spreading outside from each of the telecommunications rooms is horizontal cabling, which connects to workstations.
