The ITE-Panduit Centre for Information Network Infrastructure Solutions is a state-of-the-art lab that provides ITE College East students with a comprehensive learning experience in the exciting field of information network infrastructure. The lab is specifically designed and developed to support electrical engineering Nitec and Higher Nitec students.
The lab offers hands-on training in structured cabling, which forms the backbone of the entire communications infrastructure, connecting various devices and systems that is critical to the success of modern commercial buildings, data centers, industrial facilities, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, and government buildings.
Therefore, structured cabling is crucial for any organization that relies on information technology to operate efficiently and stay competitive in today's fast-paced digital world.
Students will gain an understanding of the latest trends in structured cabling and the tremendous job opportunities available in this field.
Panduit collaborates with local and regional vocational and training schools to build onsite Structured Cabling System (SCS) Labs and curriculum for hands-on skills opportunities. We are proud to partner and donate a variety of products and solutions to help facilitate technology training, student-staff project development, and future industry collaboration.
The Data Centre Lab is designed to support the Work-Study Diploma in Data Centre Infrastructure & Operation and Certificate of Competencies (CoC) for the Data Centre industry. This apprenticeship-based diploma includes 70% on-the-job training and 30% off-the-job training in theory and practical skills. Students in this program are sponsored by their employers.
The Data Centre Lab is designed to look and function like a real-life Data Centre, complete with servers, network equipment, management software, cooling and power devices, fire suppression system, and cabling structures.
The course prepares students for a professional career in the Infocomm Technology sector as Data Centre Engineers.

Throwback to the exciting World Skills Singapore 2021 Information Network Cabling Challenge!
Students were putting their skills to the test by installing and testing campus distribution cabling setups involving UTP, F/UTP, multipair, and fiber optic cables. Plus, they're planning, installing, and testing multimedia cabling projects from outdoor distribution points to indoor multimedia ports. This Skillset was essential for future roles as Network Designers, IT Structured Cabling Administrators, Infrastructure Consultants, or Project Managers. As IP becomes the standard for transmitting all information, the demand for Data Centre, Smart Nation, IOT 4.0, and Intelligent Digital Building opportunities is on the rise.
We're proud to sponsor the Information Network Cabling for World Skills Singapore 2021.
