Hi,

Your question seems be bit broad. What kind of schemetics you look for?.
There are many things you can see in datacenter newworks. If you specify what are the exact info you needed then we may able to help you.

Thanks

Im looking for a diagram on how the connection enters the building and how it is sent around the datacenter to the cabinets. Thanks!

I am thinking it goes like this:

OC lines to Core Routers.
Core Routers to Switches.
Switches To Patch Panels.
Panels to Servers in Cabinet.

Is a 'basic' idea on how they are set up?

What type of cabling does this setup use? Im sure they do Fiber from routers to switches but what do they use for switches to patch panels?

Thanks.
