Korridornett

Korridornett is a term used in Swedish to describe a building-wide data and telecommunications cabling system that is distributed along building corridors. It refers to a structured cabling approach in which the main distribution backbone runs through vertical risers and corridor spaces, with horizontal cabling extending from corridor cabinets or niches to individual units such as apartments, offices, or hotel rooms. The concept emphasizes centralized infrastructure that serves multiple tenants or rooms from common points along the corridor.

In a typical korridornett, the corridor serves as a backbone path where telecom or data cabinets are located at each floor or wing. From these cabinets, orderly cabling runs horizontally through walls, under floors, or in ceiling plenums to service outlets in rooms. The system can support a range of services, including telephone, Ethernet data networks, television, and building automation features such as access control or CCTV. Proper management includes labeled patch panels, cable trays, and fire-stopping measures to maintain safety and performance.

Benefits of korridornett include centralized maintenance, scalable capacity for future upgrades, and potential cost savings from shared infrastructure. It can simplify service provisioning in multi-tenant buildings and reduce the need for multiple independent cabling runs. Drawbacks include higher upfront installation costs, complexity of retrofitting in existing buildings, and considerations around security and fire safety in shared spaces.

Standards commonly referenced in korridornett installations align with structured cabling guidelines such as ISO/IEC 11801, EN 50173, and relevant local regulations. See also: structured cabling, building automation, and telecom infrastructure in multi-tenant buildings.
