baies de brassage


Explanation:
d'abord quelques explications techniques:

- PBX: Private Branch Exchange = autocommutateur en francais... c'est
l'equipement telephonique interne d'une entreprise (c'est le truc qui
permet d'avoir des numeros de poste (extensions in english)).

- Baie de brassage: c'est une sorte d'armoire on peut mettre toute
sorte d'equipement informatique et de telecom (des routeurs, des hubs,
etc...) ... my closest guess is "patch panel" .. or "patch bay"...

regarde:
http://www.ac-rennes.fr/pedagogie/svt/labosvt/technic/reseau...

so my best try is:

"The pre-cabling will take place around main premises(?) that host
PBXs and patches (or patch panels/bays)"
