TR-42 Initiatives
• Liaison Reports given once during the
week rather than at each Subcommittee
(reduces time)
– Liaisons from other SDOs
– Administrative information to members
• FTP site, reflector, cover sheets, other items from
Subcommittees, Technical Committees, and TIA
• TR-42 Operational Guide
– Updated with method for issuing liaison
letters to other SDOs between meetings
TR-42 Initiatives
• Reviewing document numbering and
organization
• Items reviewed in ISO/IEC JTC1 SC25
WG1 and WG3 produced by TR-42
– TIA 606-A had clauses adopted chapters
into ISO/IEC document
– TIA 569-B Multi-tenant being reviewed and
initiated into addendum to ISO/IEC 18010
– TIA 862 Building Automation Systems
reviewed for incorporation into ISO/IEC
– TIA 570-A, Residential Cabling
Harmonized with ISO/IEC 15018
– TSB140, reviewed and incorporated into
ISO/IEC Planning and Installation Guide
TR-42 Initiatives
• Coordination of Project Team
between TR-42, US TAG, and
ISO/IEC JTC1 SC25WG3
– Initiative started with focus on
industrial cabling
– Envision quicker TIA standard that
is internationally harmonized (See
following 2 slides)
Coordinated Project Team
Harmonised requirements for:
• channel transmission performance
• environmental channel performance
• cabling structure and terminology
• media types and supported applications

Addendum to TIA 568-B.1,
Commercial Cabling
• Addendum 2 (Approved to Publish)
– Bonding/Grounding of screened twisted-pair
cabling
• Addendum 3 (Approved to Publish)
– Fiber Applications Guide
• Addendum 4 (Approved to Publish)
– Recognize Cat 6 and 50/125 m laseroptimized optical fiber and category 6 cabling
Addendum to TIA 568-B.2,
Copper Cabling
• Addendum 6 (initiating work)
– Contains category 6 comments that were
tabled for future consideration
– This addendum is not viewed to substantially
change the current requirements for category
6 connecting hardware
• Addendum 7 (initiating work)
– Modifications to Annex A for non RJ-45
connecting hardware
– Expect ballot to forward at February meeting
Revision of TIA 569-A,
Pathways and Spaces
• All but one technical comment was
resolved regarding power separation
from telecommunications cabling
– Task Group established to resolve issue
• The revised draft will be out for
industry ballot shortly
Revision of TIA 570-A,
Residential Cabling
• New items
– Applications table
– Termination of cabling within the distribution device
(IDC)
– Distribution device sizing
– Testing
– Coaxial cabling
– Installation Guide
– Administration
• Need help on upholding RJ-11 Plug specification
by manufacturers (can FCC help)
• Working with SCTE on Coaxial test specification
Revision of TIA 758,
Customer-owned OSP
• Out for ballot – June ballot
resolution
Industrial Cabling SC
• Cabling
– Tabulation of environmental parameters
defines severity of industrial
environment by reference to IEC
recognized parameters (accepted as
working set)
Ballot for June Meeting
• TSB 136 – Array Connector Polarity
• TSB 140 – Fiber Cabling Test
Certification
• Mitigating ESD Problems
• Data Center Cabling
Ongoing Work
• DTE Task Group
– Defining requirements for delivering
power over copper cabling in
cooperation with IEEE 802.3af
Work Initiated
• Study group for next generation
copper cabling
• Draft of TIA-568-C Series
incorporating all the addenda and
consistent organization
Work Initiated
• Telecommunications Enclosures
Addendum to 568-B.1
– Confusion and improper application of
TEs in the field and in the market
– Will develop addendum as TIA 569-B
nears approval
Forthcoming Work
• IEEE 802.3 approved working on
10GBASE-T
– Unknown what will be required
TR-42 Wish List

Ease of incorporating database into meeting
reports
• Ballots need ability to be done off-line and
indexed within database.
• Style Guide
• Initiate review of Engineering Manual
• Meeting locations need to be pursued
