TIA - Standards UpdateTIA Standards Update

What’s new, changed and what’s coming next!and what s coming next!

The role of standards

• Why standards for network cabling are so successful and so widely adopted in the industry?

• They evolve over time, they build upon a solid foundation

• Some parameters have not changed– the equipment is interconnected in a q p

star topology– 8-position modular connector interface

at the equipment outlet– cable still contains four balanced pairs

ith 100 Oh i dwith a 100-Ohm impedance– horizontal channel distance is a

maximum of 100 meters– each new generation of cabling is

backward compatible and interoperablebackward compatible and interoperable with previous generations

• What has changed for the new generations of cabling is the transmission performance to support higher data rates and new more demanding applications

• Unfortunately there ‘current’ CDN standards are out of date and not aligned with the current series of international standards Until they are updated no current CDN standardsstandards. Until they are updated no current CDN standards for telecommunications cabling industry that should be referenced!

• Most ‘current’ documents are based on information at least a d d ld!decade old!

• CSA is currently looking at withdrawing all of their ‘current’ documents:

• T568 1-05 and its addenda (commercial cabling circa 2005)T568.1 05 and its addenda (commercial cabling circa 2005)• T568.2-05 and its addenda (copper cabling circa 2005)• T568.3-05 and its addenda (optical fiber cabling circa 2005)

ANSI/TIA – 1179 Scope & Purpose

“The purpose of this Standard is to enable the planning and installation of a structured cabling system for healthcare facilities and buildings. Installation of cabling systems during building construction or renovation is significantly less g y g g g yexpensive and less disruptive than after the building is occupied. This applies, in particular, to operating facilities that will have additional restrictions (e.g. infection control) on access to spaces and areas after occupancy. Selection of media and network design is of particular importance for larger healthcare facilities, which may have a useful life far longer than traditional office-oriented y gcommercial buildings.

This Standard establishes performance and technical criteria for various cabling system configurations for accessing and connecting their respective elements. In order to determine the requirements of a generic cabling system, performance requirements for various telecommunications services were considered.

The diversity of services currently available, coupled with the continual addition of new services, means that there may be cases where limitations to

f fdesired performance occur. When applying specific applications to these cabling systems, the user is cautioned to consult application standards, regulations, equipment vendors, system suppliers, and service suppliers for applicability, limitations, and ancillary requirements.”

ANSI/TIA-1179 Differences from 568C.1 (Commercial)

• Although modeled after 568C.1 for structure it is a standalone standard with major differences:

1. Recognized Cabling (Copper): “NOTE: category 6A is recommended for new installations.”

2. Recognized Cabling (Copper): <By Omission> While category 3 cable is acceptable in the backbone it should not be allowed in horizontal cablinghorizontal cabling.

3. Maximum Distances (Fiber): “The maximum horizontal length shall be 90 m (295 ft) for balanced twisted-pair cabling. The maximum horizontal length should be 90 m (295 ft) for optical fiber cabling, except for some cases (e.g. redundancy requirements)cabling, except for some cases (e.g. redundancy requirements) where the maximum horizontal cabling length for optical fiber may be increased according to the application and upon the specific media chosen (see annex D of ANSI/TIA-568-C.0).”

4. One size doesn’t fit all, a table is provided to give a range of density requirements/guidance:

Low : 2 to 6 outlets in each areaMedium: 6 to 14 outlets in each areaHigh: >14 outlets in each area
