ISO/IEC 11801
In the early 1990 the telecommunications
industry recognized the need to establish guidelines
for the cabling of buildings for both voice and data.
These guidelines, or standards, provide direction for
the proper installation of new telecommunications
products as well as addressing the many moves,
adds, and changes to an existing installation

National Electrical Code
NFPA 70 : National Fire Protection Association
is a standard for the safe installation of
electrical wiring and equipment. The NEC is
developed by NFPA Committees on the National
Electrical Code. Work on the NEC is sponsored by
the National Fire Protection Association. The NEC
is approved as an American National Standard by
the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
It is formally identified as ANSI/NFPA 70.
IEEE 802.3AF Power Over Ethernet
This Standard was approved for publication in June of 2003
and describes means to economically provide power over a
twisted-pair link segment to a single Ethernet device by
specifying the voltage and minimum and maximum current
and wattage necessary to provide power concurrently with
10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T signaling. Although
the Standard specifies compatibility with category 3 and
category-5e structured cabling, supplying power over Ethernet
is recognized to also be compatible with category 6 and
category 7 cabling.
The specified methodology is compatible and interoperable
with compliant RJ- 45 MDI (media-dependent interface)
Ethernet devices including switch to-switch connections (both
supplying power), cross-over cables, and common mode
termination implementations.

TIA/EIA-862 Building Automation Systems
Cabling Standard For Commercial Buildings
Building automation encompasses control systems such as
security and monitoring (i.e. CCTV), safety systems such as fire
alarm, environmental conditioning systems such as heating,
ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), and energy management
systems such as internal and external lighting. The TIA/EIA-862
Standard specifies generic cabling topology, architecture, design,
installation practices, test procedures, and coverage areas to
support building automation systems (BAS) used in commercial
buildings.
Since, historically, providers of these building automation services
specified their own proprietary equipment, cables, interface
connections, and topology, this new Standard offers the distinct
advantage of being able to support multi-product and multi-vendor
environments using one generic structured cabling system.
Power line Communications (PLC)
Broadband over power line (BPL)
The seven elements in TIA/EIA568
1. Work area
2. Horizontal Cabling
3. Telecommunications Closet
4. Backbone Cabling
5. Equipment Room
6. Entrance Facility
7. Administration
The Work Area is the space in a building where the occupants interact
with their telecommunications devices.
The work area cabling extends from the telecommunications
outlet/connector end of the horizontal cabling system, to the station
equipment, which is outside the scope of the standard. The station
equipment can be any of a number of different devices including
computers, telephones, printers, fax machines, etc.
• Patch cord performance is not yet
specified or measurable.
Maximum length is 5 meters.
Horizontal Cabling is the cabling that connects the Horizontal CrossConnector/Floor Distributor to the Work Area outlet.
The horizontal cable plant encompasses most of the cabling for the installed
cable plant and includes the outlets located in the Work Area.

The primary function is the transition between
horizontal and backbone cabling. The TC should
be able to contain telecommunications equipment,
cable terminations, and associated cross-connect
cabling.

Another important function of the Telecommunications
Closet is for the Termination of horizontal cable.
The TC typically houses the horizontal cross-connect/floor
distributor.
Backbone Cabling provides interbuilding and intrabuilding interconnections
between main and intermediate cross-connects (campus and building
distributors), main and horizontal cross-connector (campus and floor
distributors) and intermediate and horizontal cross-connects (building
and floor distributors).
The Equipment Room provides a centralized controlled environment for
the housing of telecommunications equipment, cross-connects/distributors,
connecting hardware, splice enclosures, grounding and bonding facilities
and protection apparatus.
An equipment room may alternately provide any or all of the functions of a
telecommunications closet.
The Entrance Facility consists of the cables, connecting hardware,
and other equipment needed to connect the outside plant facilities
to the premises cabling. It may contain the backbone pathways that
link to other buildings in a campus.
Administration is not a physical element of the telecommunications.
Infrastructure but a method to deep records of all of the other
Elements and how they are implemented in the infrastructure.
It is also the governing method of how all of the elements are labeled
for Identification.
Includes documentation of :
•
Outlets & connectors
•
Cables
– Termination hardware, cross-connects,
patching
– Cable pathways & spaces
– Labeling
