Network access

You can find a detailed overview and instructions on our network access (via cable, eduroam, ...) below.

Network access to office spaces

In non-publicly accessible offices, there are wired network connections that provide you, as a university employee, with direct access to the university network. Depending on the building and department, the network connections are each linked to a specific subnet of the university intranet.

Need more network cables? Please contact ZIM support.
